I've had that vid on my computer for years, and still remember the thread about the broken wheelie bars. Your screenname was not the same as the person who then claimed it was his...

And with a claimed 632ci, those wheels/tires, and the occompanying suspension setup to run Outlaw, why would anyone run a TH400?

Wow! I'm speechless.
It looked like there was a passenger in there?

Pull over, check oil pan, headers, underware.. Do it again.

After that comment, I did a search on your screenname. Some of the questions you've asked (basic newbie questions) would not be asked by someone who has the knowledge, skills, and experience to build and run a car like that.

So at first I wasn't sure, but now I definately call

Big NASCAR fans over there in Europe?

I'll admit the car is cool. It is very tuff. But, lying isnt cool. Next time you want to impress people, dont post crap. No grudges held though, that would be stupid.

Cool vid, even though it isn't rolling-robert's car. Looks like I'll need to "turn up the wick" on my ride for next year. Quite honestly, even if my car was able to go that fast, I certainly woudn't deliberately beat it up like that guy did, especially for the sake of a "freak show" wheelie contest.

Backpedalling are we?

Claiming another mans hard work as your own is bad practice. Bragging about it to thousands is more serious. Had it been anything other than an exceptional 3rd gen F-body you might have passed it off, or on another site maybe. But not here. Just don't let it happen again

Wait until he gets this bad boy installed under that car, then you will see some wheelies and parts flying off.
