1979 Cutlass

[blacklabel]

Feels like I'm back in high school.

It is scary what a fast street car is becoming. I grew up in Casper WY and at the time, a low 12 second car was pretty damn fast. My buddy has my old 99 Z28 (has since put a built 408 in it) and has ran a 10.8 in Douglas. That time is pretty average for the group of guys that we used to hang out with.

Even back when I raced in 2004, there were guys in daily driven Honda Civics running 10.4's. I think one guy even drove up from the Springs to Bandimere, ran 10's all night, then drove home.

I've got about 10 other time slips. I don't have any pictures of the car any more though. I was wondering the other day why I was keeping time slips from Club Clash from 7 years ago. I guess I'm glad that I did.

I can go online and post time slips to, was not trying to change the subject just making a point what you guys turn a simple picture post into, I posted pictures of my car and what it did with the old set up in it, and you got all the guys that got to turn it into a pissing contest, my car has a bone stock 350 in it now, I run it just to have fun it runs an 18.6 see you at the track.

I just anticipated you complaining that I only posted one. So I wanted to let you know up front that I've got about 10 more with the same car number and similar times.

Let me guess - You have pics but they're on a CPU that needs repaired and you'll post them when it gets fixed?

I dont care how many you post I dont know were they came from, like I said if you are out at the track when I am there every year then I can see it, then i will believe it, I can post my time slips to, If you are really a racer then you and I both know no one really post there real times, dont get me wrong I did post the 14.8 and that was an accurate time for what was in the car at that time. What the car had when it ran that time 383 stroker bored 30 over (388) stock cam stock converter weiand stealth intake 3.42 gears with the pinion bearing set wrong so my rear diff was binding up column shift 100 octane race fuel and some weathered Falken 205/60/15, I never wanted to race the car this way, but my brother pushed me into it I had 4 days to get my car going and ready to race and pass tech. I did not have time to do anything that I needed to cause I was not going to race this year, that is all I will say about the car I have already said to much when I posted it but I did not think it would be anyone I would be racing.

Hell- I don't even know what he said.

[Irving]

Haha, oh man. What a ricer.

Let's see:

-Real racers don't post their real times. ------Check
-Well, I didn't want to run it this way blah blah blah excuses. ----- Check
-I can only run at retarded KBPI events because I don't have a cage. ----- Check


Was there a head wind? Did you forget to warm up your tires? Was your car running too long in line and then got too hot?

Damn right.

Just be proud of what you have but don't try to inflate what it's capable of. That thing isn't going to pick up the front wheels at launch.

Ok wait a minute here. So now you're saying this car currently has a bone stock 350 in it, & not this 388" ground pounding stroker motor that just scares any would be racers away? Because you made it pretty clear in your first post that it currently has the .030 over 383. But that your 14.8 pass was on a stock grind cam, binding gearset (whatever that means lol) and shitty heads. You need to get your story straight, because I'm really smelling some BS!

Orrrrr, is this your "Fast and the Furious" attempt at trying to hustle us? LOL. Come on man, just be straight. The car is what it is, it runs what it runs....if you don't know, then just say "I don't know". I haven't ran mine at the track in 3 years, been so busy with work, other hobbies, and other peoples cars I just haven't had the time. I honestly don't know exactly what it will run now. It would run very consistent 12.5 - 12.7 passes at club clash. That was basically just bolting up the blower kit, with the stock 3.4" pulley, a conservative canned tune, off road pipe and gears. I've done quite a bit to the car since then.

Here are the pics and vid's I promised.....

This is from the one and only time the car has been on a dyno, after I put the blower on just to make sure the canned tune was cool, and the AFR was in check.

A couple vids from the last time the car has been at the track, club clash 08'.
