Default Do you guys ever...........

.........feel sorry for people due to their stupidity with performance sometimes? For instance, got a guy around here that has a STOCK performance s10 with big wheels/body kit/etc. Here's the truck.........



Anyway, the guy was talking to greyghost4x4 and they brought up 1/4 times.
Daniel tells him his SS has run a best of 13.1. The guy with the s10 says,"Really, my s10 with the "vortec" 4.3L runs 11s............

I caught wind of this, so I asked the guy myself. Sure enough, he says it runs 11s.........Now, should I tell him my truck runs 12s on motor, show him the slip, then try to get alittle cash money in my pocket, or should I just inform him that those trucks are IN NO WAY POSSIBLE of running anywhere near those times stock/lightly modded/etc?

Also, he has a buddy with a fullsize 4.3L running 12s ............. PIC HERE(sorry so small)





So, suggestions needed here(and remember.....I like CASH) The best I can figure is if the guy got a timeslip, he must have been looking at the 1/8th mile time........that would be about right.

I was about to say! I guess Ignorance is bliss. Tell him you will give him half track for 50 bucks.

We had a Cobalt challenge a cammed F body at my carclub meet last week. It was a Cobalt LS not an SS. I told him that i had a long *** white work truck that would drag his *** from here to kingdom come. He kept revving his fart can at us. :

Na man just play it off like your as dumb as he is and tell him you think your truck is faster then his, and just don't say how fast, you just have a hole in the muffler, run the tool for some cake, thats what i would do, don't even give him the benifit of arguing..
