There you go X. Oh wait, it must be fake. NOBODY could put that kind of motor in a Fiero like that. Must be fake indeed.

No disrespect to Tony, I met him in San Antonio and he seemed like a good guy, but shouldn't there be hoses and belts on that engine? I don't think it's gonna run too fast like that...

ive never seen his 20,000 dollar car crack an intake or whatever it was and have antifreeze pour in his oil. Antifreeze is the worst thing for bearings btw. Probably cut that engine's life in half. And yes, a 430hp engine with a 5-speed in a car that weighs approximately just 30lbs more than a stock automatic GT will run 13's. Actually it probably weighs around the same as your car, since he has aluminum heads while yours has out dated iron heads, he has the lighter 5 speed vs your much heavier automatic, then theres the slightly extra weight of him being a fastback so really, everything should almost even out even if you think 2 more cylinders weighs 500lbs and makes any v-8 car automatically slower than yours

Can you run a 10.62 @ 124 mph..??

Yes! My car, by the numbers, should run around 10.5 @ 125 MPH, but that's on slicks and LOTS of traction. What it will do in real life is another story that will eventually be played out once I can afford the rims to mount the slicks on to .... (I was thinking about taking up a collection - $240 a rim nowadays is a bit steep for me. )

Oh, and Smoooooth - anyone that tells you "yes there are math errors in it i also added them on purpose" is REALLY full of shiznat! Times are computed, and are accurate. There are no "math errors" when it comes to CompuLink systems.

ya know what, trevor is right. You guys talk **** on me, about these awesome V8 fieros and how fast they are. And one guy goes so far as to make a fake timeslip to try and put me in place. Didnt work, too many people saw through it, and I laughed my ass off the second I saw it. So now in the other corner we have 80's boy bench racing with his buddies car and how bad ass it is. Ive never even seen a picture of it. So heres what needs to be done. Remember back months ago when we talked about having a V6 vs V8 shootout? we need to have that. This fall when it cools off some, we will set up a time and place and have it. Somewhere at a nice track where the bigdogs are within a near distance. Ennis sounds good to me, if its ok with you guys. Set it up a few months ahead of time, so we can advertise on the forum, and people that are into making trips (like the 20th and the Dells) can come and watch fiero history be made. No more sh1t talking, just racing. All or nothing.

Enough with the BS, Lets do it. Im ready!

I'm in as long as your not planning on having this too far away! Where the hell is Ennis? I'll be in Frankfort, KY soon. I'm starting a new job and don't know what the "time off" thing will look like but I for one would LOVE to put you in your place. Be sure to send me the details when available.
We can make it interesting an have a $300-$500 entry fee. Winner takes all. Like you say, put up or shut up. I can use some play money right now.
Oh, and BTW, people that know me know I don't just "talk $hit"
Rules should be very simple - run what you brung - anything goes. Fastest down the track wins.
How does THAT grab ya?
Wanna run with the big dawgz, better be prepared to get bit.
This will be my only post on this matter. I'm not into the "chest thumping" thing. You can always reach me via PM.

BTW here is a pic of my car in case you missed it -

North Texas!! I'll even show up to see this!!

chester SEP 01, 01:56 PM
I just found that Ennis is in Texas. Now THAT'S really central. Lets try another location there "Big Dawg" as I'm NOT traveling that far just to prove a point unless there is some substantial $$$$ to gain. Get my drift. How about Ed Parks swap meet in Alabama? Any decent tracks there??

I like Fieros..........

one day I'll get my V8 Fiero done and then you can all talk **** about it! It'll be fun....come on guys.....this has gone from some crazy ass guy posting a fake time slip (supposedly)to the X-files (who can we trust???) to smoooooth getting slammed, to X talkin **** (surprise surprise ) to a V8 vs. V6 pissing match.....again!

V8's are big
V6's are smaller....until you force a bunch of air in! forced induction is artificial displacement! Accept that! It's all good, just a different way of doing things!
Geeeeeeeez....you'd think this was the mustang forum! So many people talkin **** ....dont we get that enough!!!
"hey isnt that one of those cars that caught fire?"
"why didnt you get a camaro?"
"nice dashboard! lol!"
cheer up guys! We're all fiero nerds here!
have a nice day!
