Yeah...but what Tom forgot to mention is that (shortly before the Cobra Driver left [Image: rolleyes.gif] ) the rest of us asked him what it felt like to be BEAT by a 2.3L TC on pump gas running only 12 pounds of boost that weighed 600 pounds more than his Cobra LMFAO !!!! [Image: biggrin.gif]

Tom is our "ringer"...we tell people his is a 2.3L hehehehehehehe !!!

BTW...my FIRST race that day (if this was the Richmond trip Tom), I beat a supercharged Grand Prix. [Image: smile.gif]

Hows that beat a fibreglass Corvette that weighs 600lbs less than you with that? He must have been one hell of a driver to lose if thats what you had, or you are one insane driver.

I've dusted loads of "modified" 95-03 Civics and Accords up where I live which doesn't say much, a 454SS, Lincoln Mark VIII, Caddy STS, got smoked by a modified Buick Grand National, but I think a Lightning would kick my @ss, those engines make ~370ft lbs with 3.73s to back it up, I don't know how GT350R got 3 cars at 130MPH on him.

Different time Dan, this was just back in late March. Yea I got one of those supecharged Grand Prixs too(actually it was the lone Buick[Century?] that was hanging with that group of SC'd GPs). Slapped him good, ran a 13.34 to his 14.03. [Image: biggrin.gif]

On a serious note, every time I've been to the track, people will come back to the pits and ask how I get the 4 cyl to run so hard.
Of course they are usually dissapointed when I show 'em the 5.0. My point is, anyone who can get one of those little 2.3s to run really good is gonna get some healthy respect.

Two 1988 Turbo Coupes ..... yea one of em has a 5.0 And runs 13.1s

I guess we both lied. We should be ashamed. We should thank him for catching us and steering us in a new direction. We are so lucky he has shown us the path to truthfulness. Enough sarcasm yet?
