Pads don't reduce stopping distances, tires do. You would think you would know this "working at a tire store for 6 years".

Dave, you act like a little boy. I've got 5 grand sitting here and it's not going to hurt me to lose it. In fact, I just had to pull $17k out for something else, I'll keep $5k aside. I'm a grown up with a grown up job, you're not going to get out of the race by betting a lot of money on it and "scaring" me. 5K isn't a lot of money by street racing standards. It's actually way more beneficial to you than it is to me but I won't ask that we adjust the amount based on our income.

I don't care what mods you do or don't have, race me. If you lose, you have got to be the worst driver on the planet.

I know tires play a role with stopping distance. Relax.
So what? 1st the finish line? Or best lap time? Better firm up those konis because your going to get a bad beating. I will have a surprise suspension for you and a cooler denser air charge for your ass.

You see I like your dedication to the fourm but I don't like your misleading advice. Your a cool guy but enough chit chat let's race

5grand 17grand is whatever to me. It's high but reachable. I started a new job and said bye to wrenching at a tire shop big deal. Easy money. My new job is a place where I call home and where I get my knowledge

I'd say best lap...finish line seems sketchy around curves with that much at steak ().

First to the finish. I want at least 5 laps of Streets. Big Willow likely won't be open and if it is cars like ours won't be allowed on it anyway.

It handles about the same as the TL. If it had the brakes to endure more than one lap and if it had the oil capacity and cooling to stay below 290F I would probably use it instead. That would kind of defeat the purpose of teaching Dave a lesson in a "slower" car.

IHC - is this the track you are going to run?



My prediction? On the 3rd lap of the back straight, Dav's motor will take it's last breath of '150 degree IAT air' and create a plume of blue-white smoke!

Bull fucking shit...your whole claim that your car is running perfect and so strong and so fast and go fuck yourself IHC with your questions about where my temp sensor is.

Fuck that...you already lost the race if you're now trying to back peddle. Just swallow your pride and apologize for letting your ego and personal opinion on some of his advice get the best of you.

Wtf is wrong with you? When I drive to work and back I'm never above 4k rpm. When I wot is rare. But if it's for money I will. I h c never taught me about meth i knew what it was along time ago.

Uh...he warned you about running hot.
You distinctly either ignored his advice or told him it was fine.

IMO, you don't have the option to run it ANY differently than when you boasted about it being so fucking awesome. If that's the case, why shouldn't he be able to take some of the winnings and preemptively do some tuning to ensure a win.

So what do you think he will win the race because my motor blows? He was the one challenging me to a race and saying he is all handles and no motor.

why didn't you make me that offer? I already have my meth kit set up to keep her cool!

I'm just saying that you knew the circumstance and made the claim...I'm not saying you're not being prudent by addressing heat...I'm saying that's not what you came out beating your chest about that started this whole mess.

Just curious, but what is the fascination with these superchargers? A turbo setup is a much better system.

I've got a friend that's a super bike instructor there. Let me ask for a favor (I hate asking favors so you better be committed).

We agreed on a race as is, this is the only reason for racing. Same as we both daily drive. Same tires and tune. In other words daily driver trim. If you want to race prep the cars I guess that's alright but you're kind of admitting you can't hang with my 198whp TL. If we're going to continually modify our cars I've got some cooling in a blue bottle I can use or hell, I might as well just pick the GN and run you on big Willow. Maybe I can use the BMW if it's broken in by then and swap tires with the TL but then you wouldn't have a up advantage. See how stupid it sounds and how pointless it is to race anything other than our daily drivers in daily trim?

I can make excuses too. My alignments set up for best tread wear. In addition to the. 200lbs of sound deadening and sound blocking that can't be removed I have a pair of 15s that weigh 55lbs each along with 3 amps. Did I mention it made 198hp lol. I'm on an inferior tire according to you in an inferior car according to you. Doesn't it suck listening to excuses? In the end I bet that my modest setup will beat your over the top setup that you've talked up for months. Now you want to insult me and use meth that I've suggested and you've arrogantly ignored?

I feel so stupid for bragging and doing what I'm about to do but you picked a bad time to bluff me with your $5k buy in. I just pulled $17,500 out to put down on the BMW that I didn't use. As I mentioned earlier:

Size:  140.6 KB

Now I belong to the internet retards that post their cash pictures but you're tactics aren't going to work, I want to put this money crap behind us, I'll race for whatever you want to race for as long as I get to put you in your place once and for all.

The short of it is this. You've bragged and thrown out that arrogance too many times. You have a 120hp advantage, what more do you want? You will pop your hood and let me look it over and you can look at mine. We will do Horse Thief or Streets. You determine the money you want to lose. At least 4 laps. Cars must be in daily driver trim. Stop complaining when you have a 120whp advantage. Not many people would take the bet I'm taking so be happy.

IHC is right, you cant suddenly decide to add a mod to your car because it involves money. I want to see this happen. I'm not too far away from you guys. Dont let this be like one of those call out threads that everyone backs out of last min.

Matt, he never had any intention of putting up that kinda cash. He figured you were all talk and wouldn't agree to it. I'd hate to see either one of you lose it...

You already won anyway, because you got him to admit that you were right about the lack of cooling.
