Nope. It's all aftermarket. I'm selling it all for $250 plus shipping. Here's the link to the ad with pics and tech specs.

All those mods he has doesn't mean squat if he can't get traction... right Leo?

Don't hold out for my schedule, you got like 5 guys willing to spill blood for you.
I've got no problem letting you borrow the DR's for that night.

OK then how's the weekend of the 19 or the 26 sound?

have you tried looking in a junkyard, if you're looking for the stock head, maybe you can find a totalled car, and get the heads?


a .44 for some mice, overkill?

Luis, without DRs and at least a tune, you're DOOOoooooooooMMMED. IMO.

The only way would be to DRILL him on the lights and absolutely nail every shift and hope he's not as good as you. In other words the driver is gonna have to make up for what the car can't do. If he's on his game, it ain't gonna be pretty.

P.S. if you do get the DRs at least un-hook the front sway bar, maybe some better weight transfer will lend a little help.


Leo,
Hate to be a wet-blanket... but All of July is out for me. I have to spend as much time as I can to move. Granted you probably have more than enough people to help out, I can't be one of them if it's in July. Sorry

It does weigh alot but I think the R/T has 360 stock plus that dudes got all the other mods. If it were stock to stock I'd say it's a drivers race. But as it stands now Luis is on the losing end unless all of the stuff Brian mentions happens.

As soon as I do I'll let you know. To be completely honest I've been so busy at work I haven't had the chance to call 281 this week. Tomorrow should be kinda dead so I'll do it first thing.

Exactly. I think stock they're pigs but the dude seems to have done a coupla things so that tips the scale away from the Stang. Hey Luis.... If I get some bedhed think we can convince him I'm you and race him with mine ????



Have I mentioned that I HATE moving ? I get to do some spring/yearly cleaning so that's good but man what a serious PITA. I swear the next time I move it's going to be to a house and that'll be it. Get one before I get married so I don't have to give one away to the next chick I sleep with.

No rush on the headers Brian. Yeah moving sucks. I've been lucky that the times I've had to move the military has paid for movers to come out and pack up all my crap. Just unpacking it all was enough for me can't imagine having to pack everything up and carry it out.

Boredom update......

Yesterday and Today have been great. Mainly because I went out drinking yesterday and did again tonight all though I took it easy today.

Funny story. Last night started drinking around 5 untill about 11. Keep in mind I didn't eat anything all day except for some M&M's and soda. Let's just say I was as wasted as I've been in many years. All the times we've drank don't compare to yesterday. I was out of it. So much in fact I was praying to the porcelain god. Well not really cause I didn't make it that far. Long story short I puked all over a wall in the bar. Thank god nobody noticed. Looked like the wall had flames. So to top it off I go to work this morning with a killer hangover. Not fun. Halfway through the day the I notice that the side of one of my shoes has puke on it. Good thing it was on the inner side of the shoe. Anyways just thought I'd share.

a-HAHAHAHAHA That made my night. Sorry for laughing at your misery, but that's pretty funny. So dumb question here, why is it so boring at your job. It seems weird/stupid to hire someone to do nothing all day. If the pay good, are they looking for people

Well the problem was that I started the week before the 4th of July weeekend so alot of people were on vacation so there was really no one to train me. That trend continued Monday and Tuesday as alot of people were still gone. Finally yesterday and today have picked up and I've actually had some work. Today was probably my best day at work so far. So hopfully the trend continues.

Because I found out it was a Canadian beer advertised as a German beer. Plus the fact you told me Coors makes it. I should've figured there's a reason why most bars would have it on tap. I'll still drink it and all but it lost it's allure.

It's like meeting a chick with a big rack only to find out later that night it was all bra padding. You'll still go through with it but it's just not the same.

It's Canadian now ?? hmmm. didn't know that. Coors owns it and at one time it was a soley independant operation from fizzy yellow ****... I mean Coors. All that could have changed.

Hoegaarden wasn't as available as it is now and that's ALWAYS perferred. Another one that is very close is Lost Coasts Great White. Small Brewery from Nor Cal. It's pretty good. Sam Adams makes one I think it's just called White Ale and the best besides Hoegaarden is New Belguim Sunshine Wheat. With Fat Tire finally (been drinking and asking when is it coming out to CA since 98) out in CA we might be able to get Sunshine Wheat. Ask the Bevmo guys about it. The one in Brea says that you basically have to be there when the truck arrives otherwise it's gone. Worth the effort, IMO. **** just remembered Mothership Wit by newbelguim. It's pretty close to Hoegaarden and more in the Wit Bier style. Sunshine is a straight up wheat beer with coriander and orange peel. To be honest if I had to pick between the three I don't know which I'd choose.


Glad to hear work is picking up. Starting during a holiday and when people are off is a *****.

Thanks for the comments/suggestions guys. It was pretty much what I figured. I was sure it was going to be a driver's race until he snuck in the long tubes. Should be fun I'll keep you guys updated. Time to learn launching

Yup the bottle says Brewed in Toronto, Canada. I've tried that Great white stuff wasn't a fan. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for the Sunshine wheat and Mothership Wit. At Yardhouse the other night we had Spaten Optimator and I liked that. Hands down the Hoegarden is my bev of choice.

Jed- Did you guys check that thing for an adams apple. That chick looks like she got beat with the ugly stick. No pics of the "RAW" stage?

FYI-Those of you not in the know about "RAW" let's just say it's a line I cross later in the night once I'm well lubricated. It's like Bruce Banner/Hulk kind of thing. RAW isn't for the faint of heart.
