here's how my buddy put it:

Last night on the Sawgrass me and Joe are crusing at like 60, some red Vette comes up to us and decides to be big and bad and pick on a Volvo. So he gunned it, and we played catch up, reeling this guy in hard, especially after 100. So we line up and I see the guy give me the finger, im like what. I roll the window down and I say "Slow down, let's do a 40 roll". The oh so intelligent man replies "**** you!". So I just laugh, Joe holds his gear, I think we are doing about 55 or 60, Vette guns it, we pull about 1 and a half cars ahead, Around 80 or 90, Vette pulls uip slightly but at 100ish Joe pulled out and put another car on him. The guy's penis extenstion was now disarmed and he was angry, very angry so he started cursing at us, so I just went crazy and shouted stupid obscenities at him. The race is on video, Joe should post today sometime, accidentaly recorded me shouting at the guy too. Appeared to be a 1990 Vette..I dont know, I only like C5s and older Stingrays, never interested in the C4s much. But I did tell the guy, "Dude your car's slow! You got pulled by my grandma's Volvo you fag!"



yea... he got it right

RIGHT CLICK ME AND CLICK SAVE TARGET AS

..... your so nice, i love the cursing.

That slow ass C4 was pulling on you untill he let off, even considering you had the jump. And you guys need to grow up.

[JHEIII874T5M]

um... I gunned it, then let off just to bait him in again... then I saw him come up on my rear fender and gun it, soo that means he went first and so he had the jump but o well, guess you'd have to listen to exhaust notes to figure that one out

so that's why he was gaining on me, you'll notice right at the end I started to even it out and inch away.

Stock chips and pissed off Vette drivers?? What is the world coming to?

[turbobrick]

actually it looked like he let off... or shifted or something, of course the camera kept moving i couldn't really tell much of anything, so i take your word for it

[JHEIII874T5M]

right, he let off at the very end, thank god cuz I was at the end of 3rd gear, started at about 80ish, ended past redline in 3rd at 110, and these H-Rated tires are only rated at 110 lol

If you look closely enough you can tell I had to even out our distance since he got a jump of momentum on me, if we had gone at the same time I'd have about a fender on him

Ok. But you still didn't really beat him like you should have. The early C4 Corvettes were pretty darn slow up top, so you would/should have beat him if your car was stock and/or in good running condition.

I could remember this one occasion where I absolutely trounced on an early C4 when the middle-aged driver I guess was showing off to his kid sitting shotgun. I'm stopped at a light right before a freeway on-ramp where he pulls up, both of them smiling seeming like are having a good time. They leave off the light pretty hard and proceed to merge in front of me, opening it up halfway through the on-ramp about three car-lengths in front of me. By the time we were on the freeway, I was a good two car-lengths in front him at ~115. As they caught up and passed, I received blank stares from both the driver and passenger. That was when I was completely stock.

And you guys still need to grow up.

[JHEIII874T5M]

wow Joe, your car is truly impressive, guess I can't keep up on 13-14# on a 16T on stock ECU

Great job on the win

18 year old ricer excuse time :

1) stock ECU with 2 subs and a passenger

2) I am running plugs gapped at .019 because of the orlando meet, stock is .028 fwiw Yea... I should really change those out

[JHEIII874T5M]

wheres that darn rolls eyes emoticon again?

[doront5]

i once had a run with a 96-95 c4... we both kickdowned from 2nd to 1st i jumped on him 1 car untill 160km/h and then at 160 i started pulling real hard on him....he was shocked but i think he went nice since he could hang with me untill 160km/h.....the lt1 camaros at 160km/h are way way behind

(= no cursing though in my race...
cheers

[turbor850]

my conclusion . . . . . .

The Volvo was looking quick.
The passenger sucked at Video Taping to a degree.
The LT1 isn't fast at all.
The LT1 only runs 13.9 stock if I remember?
The Volvos are always quicker from a roll and can beat cars with quicker 1/4 mile in some cases. (hence my friend runs 13.6 Mustang/14.2 S60R and from 60 I can stay even and then pull up top 110 mph when S60R in FWD)
The LT1 got what he deserved.

BUT . . . .

was the LT1 automatic ?
was the 850 running 13 psi ?
was the 850 punching it first ?

I've watched it a couple times now and I can't seem to find the part where you beat him by 1+ car lengths.. It looks like you just hung with him.

It looks like your 850 Turbo is an 850 Turbo.

The C4 wasn't fast. Let's all get over it.

850 Turbo's also aren't fast. Let's all get over that.

A C5 LS1 Corvette is fast, let's all recognize the Corvette is a sports car and the Volvo is not. Also remember that in 1990 no Volvo would beat that corvette, PERIOD.

We can all beat a Ferrari Mondial, but remember that cars have been getting faster and faster and faster. A G35 would tear that C4 a new one, and it's not even 40,000 or a sports car - and it doesn't sacrifice much for speed.

Get over this, the video was nice (psych) now lets all pay our respects to that killed corvette who gave out way too early cuz he's a tazzy and respect Joe as the winner.

this race was after several races between us but whatever lol.

Basically it was just fun

[EricF]

Waaa, waaaaa, someone call the waambulance.

Joseph's just posting a video he has of his car accelerating, which is more than I can say for the vast majority of people here. He doesn't think his car is hot shite, nor does he think this video makes it such.

As for the cursing and all, you would have to be there to know if there was a place for it since the video doesn't show the situation. Assuming there wasn't, let kids be kids and go back to your grown up stuff.

Best video of the year? Nah. Something to mildly entertain losers like me, yes.

I could go on, but this is like stage 2 rambling at this point... I say the same thing in every post in this forum it seems.

[turbobrick]

whats the internet without criticism... i find it entertaining to watch people bicker back and forth, i sure as hell dont lose any sleep over it.
