Im new here, just ran into this site. Thought you all might be interested in seeing my car in "Camaro Performers " this month page 78 "Salt Addict" Questions welcome.

 

attention *****.. how much have you done to it? Have yet to see the mag.. nice car anyway

 

I just got the mag today - looks great. Its funny that I see this today cause just last night at the Mile High Third Gens meeting one of the guys was talking about making his GTA a salt car. The car looks great, and would love to see it in person. You should go to the southern rockies board, and meet some of the neighbors.

CONGRADULATIONS on the magazine article

 

pictures? getting the magazine is out of my budget.

 

hahah 4$? If anyone doesn't load the pictures tonight I'll load them tommorow. It is a great article, love the pics.

What's this about running 4 cylinders and going 150mph? Could you explain this goal?

 

I buy the magazine frequently, But Im getting sick of how their articles are only about two paragraphs long. And whenever they show a thirdgen its like pulling teeth with them. They only show like three pics of a iroc once a month and thats it. And not event that long ago, about all they showed were the 1st gen and some 2nd. And I have to laugh at the tech section they have on a crossfire Z28, they show how to install hood struts . Now I understand that some people reading the magazine might like to see some easy DIY stuff but if your gonna show a thirdgen how about a tech article on a six speed conversion or LTX or LSX swap. Besides "GM HIGH TECH" all other magazines disgust me, and dont even get me started on hot rod and how they consistently bash the thirdgens on a daily basis.

 

It's obvious that they heavily favor 1st gens, everything else is just to stop people from whining

 

 

what? i only have $2.48 to work with here...

 

yeaa post the pictures please! everything is out of budget right now, my paycheck goes straight to my gas tank! lol

 

Way to go guys.

I drove over & met the guy (Dave) who started this thread, & he was good enough to spend over an hour with me, answering questions about how to make my GTA a viable competitor on the salt, despite the fact that he didn't know me from Adam. He's most definitely not an "attention *****", if he was, he would have mentioned the fact that he's set SEVEN records on the salt (in a thirdgen!), and four of those records still stand.

(Here's one link...)

It just doesn't make sense to me how someone can jump off the handle like that & chase away someone who might have a hell of a lot of real experience, & is willing to share that experience for free... He told me today that he was a bit disgruntled by the response he got here, he doesn't have anything to prove to anyone, & he's probably going to avoid the boards from now on (this was not the ONLY experience like this he's had, but unfortunately it's fairly typical).

And for those who'd like to see a picture of his car, here you go:

 

But jeesh, He's disgruntled by ONE bad response That alone makes it sound like he's looking for a pat on the back from everyone.
Sure is a beautiful car though, I love it! Oh, and MW66nova, Paypal me the 2.48 and I'll send you my magazine!

 

i'm sure the attention ***** bit was COMPLETELY sarcastic.

anyhow, very nice car sir!

 

mcdamit is just an idiot (he's proven this many times) ask your bud to come back I'm really interested in his car

 

salt348 - saw your car on tv today. It was on Motorcycle Lightning on the Discovery Times channel. Sounds sweet. It was just a small blip of ya taking off, but cool non the less.

 

I sure hope he comes back, and is willing to share information about the car. I would be very interested in more information about areo mods he has done, to keep the car on the ground, when going north of the 200mph mark.

Its really to bad, that the people we don't want, are the people who drive people who can really contribute with knowledge away.

 

I agree V8Rumble, maybe you can ask him to return. Its pretty sad when a new member with only 2 posts comes to TGO, and wants to contribute, but some one comes off with a rude remark. It might of been different if it was a senior member that the person knew, then you can be sarcastic, and everyone would know it was meant as a joke, but in this case, the poor guy did not know what hit him.

 

Well, I might give that a try. In addition to his cyl head porting work, he's also a vendor for some speed parts - and I still need to order my cam, so maybe I can talk to him then. We'll see how it works out.

 

Yes it was very much sarcastic.. hence why I complimented him on the car.

Urban, you have proven to be an idoit on occasion too.. half the time I get **** wrong its cause im quoting someone or just being plain out cocky.

Tell him im sorry... damn.

 

I picke dup the mag just for that article on the car. I would love to do that to a 3rdgen one of these days..

 

 

Wow my window seals blow out @ somewhere around 100... i wouldnt imagine taking it up to 225...

Looks like a sweet car, and i hope you come back!
