Wow our 2010 vs 55 really drew out alot of closet hotroders in the neighborhood. Field of battle was a newly resurfaced mile runway for crop dusters and private pilots. Had 60's 70's vintage christmas tree and timer for the quarter..however speed trap did'nt seem to work consistantly. We did 3 runs..Camaro ran consistantly in the 14's//14.1-14.0 13.9 we calculated his average speed @ 94-96..55Chevy consistantly ran 12.3-11.99-11.42 @ 118.58 Had problems with traction. Camaro guy really looked upset/he was physically shaking our last run. Next up next door neighbors 09 mustang gt...really sounds great//Ford has their act together. Mustang ran 13.98-13.31-13.02 again speed is cloudly /owner of the track estimates 98-101. My times got consistantly better 11.40-11.37-11.29 est speed 119-120. Soo Attorney guy is buying a case of wine for me....I heard him mutter ""I should have fucking waited!!! I wanted the mustang and camaro run but he was to upset!!actually he was really pissed..I took my digital camera..no pics Iwas too wrapped in the moment.

Hahahahaha - excellent!

HAAAAAAA Haaaaaaaaa!

"Should have waited". No shit, dude!


Congrats on the kill, man!

Good kill. Yup if you want something wait for it and don't settle.

Hey guys camaro guys wife is talking to my wife about how humilated he was tonight. "After all he's a trial attorney and they hate loose especially to a teacher". My wife said to her before Ron was a teacher he was a Navy SEAL and failure was not an option. She said, this guy is going balistic!!! his boss of the law firm was at the track. God I love this kind of stuff!!!!!!

I see an upgrade in his future. He won't be able to look you in the face for a little while. No doubt he forgot to do his research. Case closed.

This could only get better if he messed up his little six cylinder during one of the runs!

But I wouldn't actually wish that on him. Probably.

Do you get to choose what wine he buys, at least?

Ron at the liquor store:

"Excuse me, kind cashier, do you have anything in a 1968 vintage?"

Matthew

Watch Craigslist, there might be a 2010 Camaro listed tomorrow (low miles, only raced 3 times). Wow, even the 'stang whopped up on him.

I'm thinking a 1995 vintage reisling kendell jackson
Matthew: Don the Camaro Guy just left, he felt like he needed to apologize for his behavior and that he would follow through with his bet. We shook hands, you know that awkward moment..I said, hey Don ya wanna fuck with the vette next for your TagHeuer watch!!!

Ah come on. Your a sandbagger and you know it. You reeled in that fish from the first moment he opened his mouth. Baited him big time. But..... you won. All is fair in love and war.

Ya I know!!! This guy is so, so,so anal. He has a manicure once a week.
Ron

Damn, this is one of the best threads we've had in a while.

The next bet with him should be a trip to Napa to personnally pick up the case of wine.

That was my thought exactly. Someone is going to get a good deal on a lightly used v6 Camaro!

Don't discount those Mustang GTs! The base v6 Mustang isn't much, but the GT with a 6 speed is pretty damn quick. Like I said, my buddy's 07 Mustang GT can easily eat my 87.

As a side note, my buddy with the Mustang, his nephew works for Ford and brought him a 10 Shelby Mustang to drive. He said it's something like 540 hp and the acceleration was amazing. But it's also $50k.

Congrats on teaching that guy a lesson. I called the numbers pretty close.

Your right that mustang gt was a very nice car//personally I like the Mustang better than the Camaro.. The GT is quick/ he paid about 35K for totally loaded

My wife called me at school a case of 1995 Kendall Jackson Reisling was just delivered to the house. 6 bottles to a case... Thanks Gurus... its nice to share my automotive experiences with a group that thinks alike. Ron

Man I wish we could get away with that out here.

Some prissy asshole 3 miles away would complain about the noise and call the SWAT team.

Nice of the guy to pay up so promptly. You should invite him over for a drink. I mean, you're still neighbors and all.

Indeed, good of him to make good on his bet. And maybe he'll learn a little something, too.

Granger, Indiana is kind of out in country between South Bend and Elkhart. Lots of corn and soybean fields. Perfect place to make noise!!!

I'll take a bottle of wine to him tonight!!! He's alright just book smart...does'nt even own a hammer..He thought the Camaro would outperform his bimmer and his 2009 5 something bimmer could beat anything on the block. Apparently while @ Harvard or Notre Dame they did'nt teach autoshop LOL.

Tom: Your making me feel guilty....Na over it now!! I promise I will explain torque and horsepower to him.. Honestly: I did'nt bait him at all..he just drank too much on bet night and with 5 guys standing around talking cars..he just tried to fit in. The rest is history!! Ron
