  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I just got done re-rebuilding my carb. Experimenting wth jets and rods. So I go to Jerrys (our carhop joint) for a test ride. I leave and notice a Silver Porsche Boxter riding my A$$. Its time to turn on the highway. Is this dude wanting a race? I have no idea if Boxters are quick at this point. I ran mid-low fourteens last year and I'm hoping if we go that I can hold my own. I can't imagine a current Porsche, even a junior edition, being much slower than that. I should be pushing out way more torque than the Porsche, but I do know those suckers weight about a thousand pounds less than me at least. Soooooo......I make my left and it seems like he's not into it. I go to second semi-alertly. Then bam, he's on it hard. I stay second since going back to first would mean an almost instant shift back to second. I pull about two car lengths and hit third. Shorty afterward its obvious the Porsche has thrown in the towel. I notice about a half mile later he's coming up hard to trying to fit between the car I'm close to passing on the corner. I guess he was gonna show me how he can at least outhandle me. But wait, I just go from OD to third and close the gap fast. Luckily I had on my normal tires and I held the bend well. And that was that. Lotsa fun anyway. I admit the Porsche looks like it would be a hoot at the local roadcourse, but I'll stick with my Regal for $37.400 less!!!! :TU:

    Nice kill Dan! Porshces have excellent handling and are supposed to be a really great top end machine. Guess it just goes to show nothing beats good old american muscle. :3gears:
