This comment is hilarious.

Jangy says he's the king of the canyon. If so why does the chick in the follow car say "Last time we did this we went so much faster"

Jangy, I've been thinking about the odds you keep griping about, how does 4 seconds for even money sound to you? That would really stack the odds in your favor, however it also raises your risk a little bit. Think about it and let me know. My $5k to your $5k

Sean, you are beyond pitiful.

Jangsta! Jim may not be on Roids but I might be Curious: What's w/those earlier posts where you state "Your going to be setting things straight w/Jim about the content he posts before racing" did your boy scout outfit come w/Daisy Air-Rifle & badge of courage?

Well, at least now I know bickering between different models is not reserved to 335's vs. M3's.

Personally, if someone ran their mouth about me and my car I would do the exact same thing. I'd call them out and tell them to put up or shut up.

Guys, what the hell is all this? I mean really, when I make a bet I shut up and put it to the wire. If I won, cool. If I lost, I took it like a man. What is all of this talking, and nonsense?

1. Don't we have a date set for this?
2. Aren't the rules set for the bet?
3. The location is Willow is it not?

Speaking for most here (which I think all can agree including JRCart who would love for this to finally happen lol): Let's see this get done. All the talking, posturing, and e-balling can stop. Next post here should be a link to the video, and the results.

Damn! All this talking is so vaginal. Do it already!

Still waitin' for him to cover that $500.00, or should I make it a thousand? I mean really, since putting the stock 265's on the front makes all the difference in the world, it's me just givin' my money away. Palomar mountain is not willow springs. Even with slicks, an E55 isn't going to break 1:35. Once the date is set (or Jangy backs out completely) I vote for:

I agree. Some guy was on here a long time ago yelling he could do a 1:32 in a stock C32. He showed up actually (credit to him there) but he was on coil overs and had racing harnesses. So I went for a ride with him as I thought he was a safe driver. We ended up off turn 1 about 200ft. He threw the car into the corner at about 100mph and then tried to tell me that it was my extra weight the prevented the car from going into a 4 wheel drift. BS

So I spent 4 years with SMG C32 trying to get a C32 to break 1:36 ( a time set by full interior E46 M3's with mods and race tires). We hit 1:35 with worn tires and I think a good day and new tires would have given up a 1:34 (high) but there is no way a C32 could do a 1:30 any which way. We were beating that car to death. Suspension parts were literally being ripped apart.

And the poster who said that conditions are everything at willow is correct. I have spent days driving what I though were amazing laps after getting new engines installed in the BMW and when I looked at my times i could not figure out why it was only half a second quicker. Unless its an ideal day these lap times will be much higher than we all think. If its too hot or too cold its going to be all off.

How about changing the terms of the bet?

If Jangy can come within 4 seconds of Jim's best lap time.... he wins $3K

If Jim wins...Jangy gets banned from mbworld for 3 months....

I think that is fair....

jrcart I bet you $50 that you won't cover my gas/brakes/tires/drinks for me to drive down there and stomp you both on the track.

But seriously, E55 vs CLK63BS?

From my point of view I know my car is faster, I know I am the better driver and I am putting up $5000 to your $0 plus a 2 second deficit to prove it...want to talk odds Jangy?
JR you could give Jangy 8 secs and still win. This is the most unfair bet I have ever seen. 5000 bucks vs 0. Just for those with reading impairments ... that means the race is unfair to JR.

As far as I can tell, we are 3 pages into this thread and Jangy has NOT agreed to go to willow.

Why dont we level the field to see who is the better driver?

Best two out of three sessions at Dromo 1?

No Horsepower drama..No Excuse other than Jangy will have a few more pounds on him..But the cars will be even and it will be a fair race

Lots of room for the Peanut Gallery to cheer them on and its local

Wow I have missed this festival of **** swinging, shame on me. To summarize my thoughts:

Jim, don't race Jangy wheel-to-wheel, THAT story ends with him putting you into a wall out of frustration.

Ricker, I need to see this pic, because I'm already laughing at the mental picture.

Jangy, how is any of this going to work out positively in your favor man? I have never had anything against you, but you have to know that this is a foolish game you're playing, reminds me of what's going on in Israel right now.

When would Jangy be that close to do it? Seriously Jim will walk him down the straight then out brake and out corner Jangy at turn one. after that it's a freaking parade with the short bus dropping further and further behind

FWIW, there is no grass infield at Willow Springs...it's desert and lot of run off area...just in case. Maybe some snakes and rabbits but picniking is strictly prohibited.
