F-Body Europe

Well, first off, on the way back from work today, I was hauling booty, like normal, and this Merc. got on my a$$ trying to front on me and shiznit. Well, as traffic clears, I step on it a bit, and immediately he puts on his blinker, not backing off AT ALL!! So, I dropped it down into 4th at about 4.5 grand, and punch it. Man, I tell you, that had to have been an E55, cause it was no joke!! It took all I had just to pull away from him a little.......

I had to go on a recon to Rhein Main, to make sure I knew where Lodging was, so naturally, I took A5, seeing as how that's where all the cars are! On the way there, it was kinda lame, but I did manage to hit the rev limiter a few times.

On the way back, however, I took out a 911 cabriolet, and a small Ducati, probably only a 250, but it was PAYBACK!!

Aint those e55 a bitch ?!

Hey man I heard you met my Friend Nick at a photo shoot with new Z06.

Oh, I didn't know it was a photo shoot, but yeah, I met him. I made a post for you, actually!! Anyway, he seems really cool, not all stuck up, like most 'vette owners. He seemed to think his was the only one in Germany, but I had to break him off, and tell him that there was already a red one here!!

good pay back. I go for 3rd at 100MPH and you send them a messege or intimidate them unless its a TURBO, I run 4th to 140 and then it is pretty much game over unless I am straight clear A-bahn.

Yes the E55 is a beyotch! That's the same car that gave me hell and waved bye-bye on A-5 @ 160+! I swear though I could hear a slight whine though......................

Yeah, that's a badass car, but it better be for like $80K!!

Silas are you sure that wasn't you

I hear you, if I ran 4th to 140, it would be game over, and rods all over, and oil all over.....


jeez what do you wind to, 9k?

Rob I can pull past 160 in 5th so I know 4th topped out is at about 140. Think of the day you drove my car. You were G-tech trapping 120+mph in 3rd gear. So it is very easily achievable.

actually I trapped 110mph, and the next day 109mph in mine (neither one was in 3rd). 120mph would make you a bottom 10sec car. The LS1 is good, but not that good.

I guess if you make power up that high, go for it, and the LS1's obviously do.

oops my bad... I was thinking 120, but now that you said it it sounds right. A 10sec car would be cool..... Hell a car I can drive would be cool also...

6600 RPM will get you 140 in 4th I have not had to pick up the rods yet. I can get 115 in 3rd @6600 I go through the traps in 3rd @ 108 13.2. maybe my speedometer is off?

I went and checked myself 3rd 112 @ rev limit 138 in 4th. you guys are ruthless, But thats OK my speedometer could still be off? If you would like to call offical bullpucky see ya at Hockenheim. I will be in 3rd @ the traps!!! Yes I am a little jealous you guys have a Abahn 1KM away and get all the kill stories. I must drive 45 minutes to get on one and then I must play nice because it is full most of the time.

That sucks, Bruce, but hey, who got the trophy???

Hey your car is tight also. I enjoyed the fact that I got a chance to meet some of you guys. The trophy will be a reminder of that when most of us got together for a 1st show in Wurzburg 2001. But you can still call bullpuckey. I never said 120. OK I am over it. Later

Thanks, and how are those rims coming along??

Folks here is a speed calculator I devised a few years agoand it works great and it is accurate. Just donot edit any thing in the grey. It is hellof a lot accurate than what you will find on the web. And Sweeney is right .

Hey thanks Roy, I was starting to 2nd guess myself. How is the SS running. If you talk to Tony he could reflash your computer up the RPM and change timing. It would be cheaper than Hypertech.

Hey Bruce, are you still working on the rims??

yes and I am almost there I have polished firehawk wheels with caluses on my fingers. Hey your new wheels look great mine are not that shiny yet give me 1 more week and I should be done. I would not reccomend doing your own wheels at home.
