I'll have to start practicing that on the drag racing app. Just started getting decent at the standard tree.

I get the need to have the turnout like mlee has said but having bolt-ons vs. Nitrous & FI builds in the V6 stable doesn't leave a lot of fairness it's like putting an SS against a ZL1 stock for stock. I mean had the Gretchen and Jantzen cars not exploded their guts on that amazing heads up run the closest would've been rick to them and he wasnt running his nitrous and was i think a 13.3? Your talking a full 3 seconds almost there.

My best pass was a 12.77. So I mean, that’s not really fair to have any N/A guy run against me or the not Gretchen car. But then I also don’t stand against the not Gretchen car either. This has always been an issues. It’s never fair to have the N/A guys vs forced induction guys. It’s a losing battle

My dad’s buddy bought the Gretchen car. But the whole engine has been fixed differently. So we just call it the not Gretchen car (it’s the same car though)

Gotcha. So atleast i wasn't to far off. Makes me feel better. I haven't lurked the Camaro5 LLT/LFX forums in a very long time. I do hope Rick makes it again that guy is hilarious. Which one of the 10s guys isn't coming The not Gretchen car or JantzenOKC?.

Trent isn’t coming. He made a comment on the Facebook page saying no one really cares about the v6s anymore. And that there wasn’t any honorary mention about the 10 second passes him and not Gretchen made.

I'm not on Facebook you can tell him i care about the V6s lol i doubt that will change his mind but it's worth a try.

Your right though no honorary mention of the two cars that could've smoked 80% of the V8s with 2 less cylinders. Was a little V6 what about the V6 feeling.

Kind of sad he's taken that stance. The side by side 10 sec runs were posted on the Camaro Fest Facebook page a month ago. Pretty sure one of them broke before the finals so didn't get an award, but I guarantee you we can get him a fastest V6 plaque done with his time on it and sent to him. There will be more stuff like that at the 2018 fest. Would be nice if he would just come say something instead of blasting off on Facebook. I4 and V6 always get props but we can't catch everything on the spot.

I know you posted it. I commented on it.

Yeah, but it sounds like his feelings got hurt at the fest. Lot's of things going on Saturday afternoon and it someone would have said something we would have announced it all over the place. Like I said, I'll make the plaque up next week. That was an awesome run. Soon as I saw it I posted it.

Both of them wound up breaking. But I can kinda see where he’s coming from a bit. There’s not a lot of the v6 guys and we do kick V8 butt, and we don’t always get an attaboy or recognition.
