Well you are certainly making people laugh… at you that is…
600awhp means nothing without “real” world validation.
…and ya I don’t have a 600hp car right now, if I did it would go 10s all day long…RWD AWD, it wouldn’t matter. I’m not sure you even realize what kind of times 600awhp with a decent driver should equate to at the drag strip. Instead your content with street racing other busters that have no clue how to race from a dig or shift. Tell me, I bet your car shift fine 3rd to 4th because that is the only thing you can do apparently.
Honk horn 3 times…press gas…shift to 4th…let off gas
…then argue over who got the hit or had to slow down because of traffic.
the duck/mallard references do make me laugh everytime. Mission accomplished for FAW. IT’s fucking funny. It’s so fucking obscure too.
I’m sorry I got you upset. I never asked you do prove anything, but you are here telling me I need to validate my fake 609whp to you. Now This will be my 1st disrespectful remark to you " You are just mad because My 96 makes more power than your newer car" Did I use profanity? no, but I’m pretty sure to you it felt like said you will never do better than your best time. hahaha.
Lol power without proof means nothing
Your 96 makes about 250 crank HP based on your times
NEVER seen so many pussies with 500+whp talking shit afraid to race by themselves or each other.
Rule #1 …if your too afraid of breaking a $100 axle DONT BUILD A FUCKING 500WHP CAR
Rule #2 …if rule #1 applies to you then please try to garner your self respect and build it back up by responding
bitch azz mf pussies
Lol, I’m definitely not mad…bro…lol
I would say more like amused by your side stepping antics. I don’t care what you think of my car, as you shouldn’t really care what I think of yours. The only problem is that I have publicly proven what my car can do, you my friend…have not, will not, or are afraid to. If you are happy with a 14 sec pass, then maybe the 609 is complete BS. I’m sure JHM does, or will soon have NA 3.0s running low 13s soon…so what does that say about your 600awhp 96.
and by the end of the year I plan to be nitrous or supercharged, so running low 12s high 11s will be the goal. Whenever you have something real to talk about let us know.
Nobody cares what you may/may not run during your pre-planned road trip/track stop next week if you have all of these excuses baking in the oven and you’re not even going to ‘race’ the car. A major component of the challenge was a ‘no excuses, no complaints’ admission. You saw how much praise your previous ‘non-accountability’ track visit got; nobody cares to see another. Go drive your car down some back alley 1320ft with a hand-stopwatch if all you’re trying to do is show that the car can make it 1320ft without breaking.

You have NOT accepted. You haven’t worked out a date that works for both of us, and you haven’t locked it up with $75 to an unbiased 3rd party that would require objectivity and accountability.
Speaking of which, with how hopeful everyone was about this actually going down, I’m surprised I got zero response to the below. The challenge requires an objective 3rd party mediator:
I may be able to put aside $75, but first things first. Is 6-3-2012 good for you and your many excuses.
Less than 50% likely, but if you get that money to the unbiased 3rd party by the end of the day today to show that you’re not hollow, I’ll start calling around to see if I can get done what needs to get done in the next week. I’m not going to start off trying to rush my car until the accountability is out of your hands.
So, if you want next week to be a possibility, get that money secured asap, and I’ll make some calls and let you know if I can physically make your self-dictated deadline. Or if you want to set up a deadline that is definite before any money switches hands, let’s talk and set a date that is reasonable for both of us. If I’m able to do next week, it will be because I was able to borrow a transmission (not likely). If we set up a date that works for both of us (ie. not a surprise date a week away, designed to weasel out of the real challenge), I’m going to buy a transmission for myself and rebuild it with the updated synchros before it goes in, which will take some time to do considering I wasn’t planning beforehand on doing it soon (I don’t have $2k ready at any given time to rebuild transmissions, without prior planning). As I haven’t even started looking for a transmission or parts, and the rebuild will be done on the side, lets lock up a deadline of the end of July or so (deadline meaning you can submit your time before then if you want, like next week if you go).
If you were to decide that you want more time than that to fix any of your own tranny/clutch/whatever issues, I would be fine with that as well (as long as it’s within this track season), as I don’t want there to be ANY potential excuses on your end. I’d much rather you get your car as healthy as you care to get it, as a pressing time-frame is not a big deal, within this racing season. It’s the E/T that matters.
Who is willing will be the objective 3rd party? I’d hate to have to go to other forums to try to fish for volunteers. The responsibilities of the mediator will be to hold both of our money, accept the timeslip, no-cut video (and hopefully testimony of someone else who was there at the track) from both parties, and at the deadline, decide the validity of the proof submitted, declare a winner, and disburse the money in a completely objective fashion.
jibber fuck the money…he already said its not easy to float the 75 bucks. I agree with faw…lots of fried chicken is better than a bet.
I would be the 3rd party but I don’t want to give out all my personal info to you two scoundrels. Not sure who would frankly.
anyway you’d forfeit the 75 if you don’t run
p.s. If you said your car is running…why do you need a transmission again?
I would be the third party too, but my paypal account needs a new clutch…and I’m really busy
damn mallards
I’ll be the 3rd party.
Don’t take this personally, but do you have any buying/selling references from the forums? Ebay feedback? Possibly someone well-known on the forums to vouch for you? Can you maybe link to a post or thread that illustrates your general objectivity? Do you own a B5?
Like I said, don’t take it personally, I’m just looking to verify that you have the qualities to fulfill the roll/responsibilities I’m looking for, as I am not already familiar with you from the forums. Thanks for volunteering (as no one else has), and I’m looking forward to your reply.
So it’s not easy for him to float the $75 that inherently would require objectivity, have ramifications for not following though, and would require his accountability, but it is easy for me to drop $2k on a whim and drop everything in my life for a entire week for the glimmer of a hope that I might not have just been trolled by the biggest troll on the forums? Yeah, not going to happen. Like I said, the challenge is structured the way it is because it requires objectivity, requires accountability, and has inherent penalties for not following through. It doesn’t favor anybody.
If he doesn’t want to man up to the challenge, and won’t allow a 3rd party to hold him accountable (isn’t confident enough to put anything on the line to back up his trash talk), then I won’t worry about it either and will also just go to the track at my leisure, and we can compare slips if/when we both happen to go to the track at on our own time, with nothing on the line and only being taken at our word. If he wants to try to force his timeline in hopes of either running a damaged car or squirming out of the challenge all-together, then he can secure his intent by depositing the $75 with the mediator, and I will do my best to oblige him and his timeline if possible. If he wants to man up to the actual challenge, we both need to agree on a date that both of our cars will have no excuses (I have no intent to run my car at the track damaged, and I don’t care to see him have excuses in the chamber for when his performance sucks at the track; I honestly don’t care what he runs at the track if it is “on a bad transmission, bad clutch, rolling off the line, maybe blipping the throttle, etc”. Get it fixed to the point where you won’t be using it as an excuse, and then lets run, as nobody cares to see that a car can simply make it down the track.) And after we secure the date, we need to both be held accountable by securing our money with the mediator. Then it’s game on.
That is exactly the entire point. It requires objective accountability, the same for me as it would for him if one of us doesn’t follow through with our word. He has had zero penalties in the past for blatantly lying or not following through with his word for the past 3 or so years.

I know that you, CV, the site creator, and all of the other unaffiliated parties just want to see a run either way (as would I if I were in your shoes), but I also know you already understand that my transmission is damaged, and that you understand the logic of it being pointless for me to run my car at the track damaged. I’m not going to re-quote my posts that explain this.
I can respect that you guys all just want to see at least something rather than nothing (as nothing is what is likely to happen when FAW doesn’t man up to the actual challenge), but until you can goad him into taking the actual challenge, or until you buy the transmission yourself and install it (of course I’m being facetious), it’s only going to go down the way that makes objective sense and requires accountability. Even at the expense of potentially disappointing thread when the other party doesn’t follow through.
Is 6-3-2012 ok with you and your excuses? If yes, We can figure something out with the Money.
Please respond before My car goes to sleep. Thanks JACKass.
no I don’t ‘already understand’ that your trans is damaged. Did you know that I have a stone chip on my left rear widebody fender on my Avus Silver RS4? Of course not. If you posted it somewhere earlier, maybe it was buried in a wall of text. I too am verbose…but I think you suffer from verbal diarrhea. Keep it more succinct and people will see all of the details.
I know jackshit about your car. Until 18 hrs ago, I thought it was a single turbo build. That’s why I asked. I was surprised by that revelation, and the fact that you were now basically using that as a reason to not run (ironic after alll the ‘nut up or shut up’ talk, don’t you think?).
We don’t all want to see you run to be honest. You’ve paved the way for a shitty result with a bunch of excuses yourself (the same thing you keep calling out FAW for). Watching you guys go run 12s-13s isn’t all that exciting. Sorry. I think the guys just want some resolution to this B.S.
He won’t respond to me.
Can you ask the ass if 6-3-2012 is ok with him and his evasive excuses. THANK ylu.

If you honestly missed it, rather than spouting off in an attempt to see ‘some result’ instead none when FAW doesn’t man up to the real challenge, then yes, you need to pay better attention if you’re going to try to comment on the thread and its content. It’s been mentioned like 4 times in this thread, and I also posted this link in this thread, which is my direct reply to you from before FAW even made this thread, showing where I’ve said that my transmission is messed up and that I plan on hitting the strip after it is fixed.
Click the link in this quote (from reply #89 in this thread) for a memory refresher; the linked post was from a conversation with you:
[quote=“jibberjive,post:90,topic:3495”]
And I know you and the others just want to see a good race, but if you honestly think that I’m using my tranny as an excuse, you’re either ignorant of the truth or don’t want to see what’s really going on. My tranny has been messed up since the build has been done (6 months ago), and I’ve talked about it many times, before racing FAW was even a possibility (for example the quote below from the linked post on May 10th, before this FAW thread was even made.)
Read above, get your money secured with the mediator, and I’ll make the calls to figure out if I can make your self-appointed deadline, otherwise, lets work out a date where neither you nor I can have any excuses. This isn’t about the timeframe, it’s about the performance; why are you scared to run my car without a damaged transmission?
i think the point faw is making (and made with the repeated question of ‘is your car running’) is that your car isn’t exactly running. It’s walking. Limping.
Sorry I missed the trans stuff. I lol’d at the part where you cussed me out for not reading the whole thread and doing my homework. I didn’t realise your car was currently in such bad shape that it couldn’t accelerate hard. I know that iff my car was in such bad shape, I wouldn’t say ‘nut up or shut up’ 15 times in a row to someone. I’d say nothing about racing or goading someone because if they say yes, you just got your bluff called while holding 2-7.
Seems now that you’ve had your prayers answered, and FAW is going to hit the strip to meet your challenge, your transmission issue is holding the whole thing up. He gave you 10 days from yesterday (June 3rd) to get a pass in.
Maybe you should have written ‘nut up or shut up, but only on the slim to none chance I replace my transmission between now and then.’
As for ‘get your money secured with the mediator’, jnaut just posted that he would do it (he gets nothing for doing it, yet offered his time) and you basically threw a bunch of conditions at him that he’d need to satisfy to fulfill the volunteer job lol. He drives a barely modded B7 RS4, (and I’d bet a coke his times are faster than either of the two of you or faw ironically) and has his own shop down in FLA. He knows neither of you, and likely doesn’t give a fuck what happens.
