That should be good if it's done right. I saw a pinks all out that had the combo. I don't remember what it ran. Not that up on that kind of combo. I'm and old schooler when it comes to drag racing. What rear end is he going to run?

Yeah but for the extra buttload of money, you get a lot more confidence in LIVING than on one of those two-wheeled death traps.

Not sure, be honest I am car deaf compared to him. Hes the former president of a club at University of Florida, where all they do is build race cars.... make their own Carbon Fiber parts and everything. If he did it he'd do it right... his last project was a 67' Vette with 1100hp.

Only dangerous if you crash, and idk about you but I wouldn't want to be in a crash with a ZR1 either.

That being said, you could buy a CBR1000 which is faster than any super car you can buy, AND you could buy a CTS-V, AND you could buy a Camaro, for the price of a ZR1.

I'd rather have the ZR1.

My brother-inlaw got hit four times on a while riding a motorcycle. Last time was bad. My sister laid down the law and said no more. That kinda did me in for anykind of bike also.

To be blunt, how did he not die?

coolman · 10-22-2009, 05:07 PM

He is a very big SOB. He start lifting weights in the navy about 25 years ago and never quit. He can bench almost 500lb and is in great shape. He got plowed in the rearend in the last wreck while stopped to make a left turn. Laid up for 6 months but made it. Doc's said his size and being fit helped a lot.

I guess everyone must be right about challengertalk.com (not challenger people) I went on to see the hype and there were only three new post. Where's everybody at. Did the mods over there run everybody off?

What's really funny is all three were about problems with their challengers.
