Uncorrected for local people, corrected for anyone else.

I just smile, look at the ground and say "nah, its not that fast." Most of the time my friends that have been for a ride with me follow up with "Bull **** its not fast!!!" So I cant really suprise any GM guys.

I don't belive in corrected times, theres no such thing in my opinion. If my car or truck runs a 14.5 thats what it runs. I race people here not anywhere else.

If you lived in California, then ran in Denver... you might change your mind.

On the street if you ask me what it runs my answer may be surprising. She's one of the worlds only 15 second LS1's...as long as you have $50 to put down on a race

I just say my G-Tech times, though I live at sea level and I'm quite embarrassed of the G-Tech times, I try to keep it quiet.

Anybody know the altitude of New England Dragway? I think it's only like 500 feet up.


My city is 20 feet about sea level (i can see the ocean from my house) so i don't know what corrected time is!

I say: lets put some money on it and find out how fast it is

You wouldn't believe how many people say they would thrash me...that is until money is brought into the equation then they don't want to run anymore

I think I need to see a doctor as I'm starting to leave the little fish alone :sillylol:
