ROGUE --

That's where he got his "ideas" from... he saw this same video (Big Red) and figures "mines just exactly like that one, only better".... He's also seen some high zoot Camaros cross the block at BJ -- and that's where he gets his $200K number from - because if they sold for 125K "mines way better than those POS cars". Like his other "numbers" he pulled them straight from where the sun don't shine.

How many times have we all heard this? Once per show we go to - at least? :willy: :faint: :rofl:

I'd like to see an itemized bill for his installations costs for the 1st time the 540 was installed.

Dunno I'll let you know when I hit Cal Speedway next.... :willy:

With my wheel/tire setup and the TKO600, theoretical top speed is 194mph but getting to that speed with the aero and overdrive will require a lot of power. I dyno'd at 440rwhp. Adding a trans cooler as well so...

I'm gonna guess I need more power. Likely 500-600rwhp.

I didn't feel like educating the guy... Him and his buddy trolled every youtube video I have and posted how ugly it is. Like I care :lol:

He even went as far as saying my car isn't HALF the car his is. Other than the 540, his car is basically stock, a pretty typical backyard build. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

That video is hilarious. I think I've had an experience like that. Good thing I don't drink any more :lol:

BTW I just wanted to compliment you on your car. Its all business and I like it a lot. Don't think I ever posted in your build thread because I was busy at the time.

Hit the track :thumbsup:

Rogue.... It's been 25 years this year since I remember being somewhere "near" that hammered... :>)

It was hilarious watching it - and I sent the link to my 22 year old who had some choice comments about the guy...
:hail: :hail: :thumbsup:

hmm, his first video is 600hp, the second video is 1000hp!?!?! oh and i love that 500ft" burnout lol :rofl:

....hes also got a 1600 square foot garage, cost him $200,000. Almost as much as my Camaro.
Haha what a comedian. I don't know jack about what 69 Camaros are worth but I can gaurantee that ones nowhere close to $200K. The only thing about that video that would've been funnier is if someone ran up and snatched his camera while he was doing that 500 foot burnout in that $200K car. :lol: :lol: :rofl: :rofl:
