If you are referring to the panties comment, you are correct, it wasn't needed, my apologies.

LMAO.....Luis called it right from the start...people like yourself would start with the nitrous comments! There is no nitrous on my car. You are free to look it over again, like you did at MIR. My car is always open.

I'm not bench racing...however the thread you created certainly is! All I asked was for you to post the slip you were referring to. Instead you wrote a bunch of stuff which doesn't make any sense. Perhaps you talking about several different track outings and grouping them all into one, idk?
See you at the track.

I didn't say you used nitrous. I seen your car that day and can vouch that I didn't see it either. I was just going on the things that you said seemed "odd" and explaining ways to get a car on a stock converter to launch like that. Maybe you just have a loose stock converter who knows. See you at the track.

from my 2cents you already have won my friend. The car is pure awesome tens or not...mad props for that...

I will have to add, lowprofile, gotta respect your overall attitude. I even got asked a lot about your car blah blah blah and I always replied ya hes running a 800 shot and took the motor out for weight reduction. (uh you posted your mods for gods sake lol) Keep up the good work!

I just don't get why as a community we aren't supporting each other more. We have grown leaps and bounds as a platform and its just getting started.

Benz-o and amge55rocket there is no doubt in my mind that you guys will hit the tens, even if I have to come out and push!

You have to admit, it sounds odd that you ran the numbers you stated with all the issues which, again you pointed out. I didn't put any of those words in your mouth.
Forget about posting any of your slips...good luck at the track. Peace.

Ps. Not sure what you are trying to prove with the "pull everything out comment". I've always been completely straight forward with my weight reduction. If you are trying to imply that I could not run 10's with the seats and mufflers intact, you are completely wrong. My track time is few and far between, so when I show up, I'm there to run the best I can on that day.
There is that word again Seems like I am slowly but surely converting the whole forum, even lowpro is in on the hype

That has also been so over played too brotha, the car was by NO means gutted, just had the front passenger seat out, and catback off. Big deal to everyone that keeps bringing that up That is nothing in the big skeam of things.

Yea mang, you are spreading it around like herpes at a college dorm!

There, now I'm even sounding like you.


That was knee jerk reaction to the "receipt for his drag radials" remark. None the less, I should not have written it.

Me and BK talked yesterday and cleared the air of everything lol. Looks like this MIR outing is shaping up to be the event of the year if all goes well
I think i'm going to have my exhaust guy make some custom dumps to bolt onto the headers as well as a full exhaust too. I'm really thinking about pulling everything and going for broke and see how fast it will go. Maybe after your car in finished up we can have a big spring meet and get a bunch of the fast cars together and have some fun

I would love to get all the fastest e55's together. If Ahmad does a MIR track rental in late fall again, I will definitely drive up this time. I have my tow truck now, so all I would have to do is rent a trailor, and here I come

When I gutted my car, I dropped 2/10's. It would have been more because I ran full weight at Steele AL, in 40* weather at night and pulled a 11.2, then we went to Silver Dollar, gutted the car, and ran a 11.0. The weather at Silver dollar was 70* and higher DA.

LOWPRO, you still going to MIR next week?

Mine came in on the scales at 3860lbs at Silver Dollar

I'll be there one way or another, can't miss this event! My car is in the body shop right now so I'm not sure if I will have it back in time. Anyone want some lightly used Forgestars? lol

Along with Jody's Ev12 and a couple other cars we are working on right now, we are deffinetly going after some records. If we don't set some ET or speed records we for sure will set a record for most broken axles, diffs, driveshafts, etc.

The very moment that Sean or Soulsearcher makes a clean pass in their SL600, I'll be forced to update my signature.

There are some VERY strong 600s out there.....
