Rick,
We're still wwwaiting. And we're waiting while you're blowing more smoke than a motor with scored cylinder walls, worn rings, bad valve guides, leaky head gaskets, and is running pig rich. When are you going to answer, man? Stop dodging the assignment. I mean how hard can it be for a guy who has all that vast knowledge and experience with these cars that you [claim to] have?
----Rick, don't respond to this section and blow more smoke----- For those of you who recently picked up on this [endless] story, here's a brief recap. He told this newsgroup years ago that I was only posting all the slow magazine times for the old muscle cars and that he would find the fast numbers... the "12-second muscle cars". He said he had all these old magazines and other proof to correct what he quickly labeled as my 'lies and distortions'. In reality, I only started posting the old articles (I spent hours typing it all up.) because I thought they were really neat. Well, what I thought was neat, he thought was sacrilegious. He flew into a rage, then tried to ruin my reputation by creating this conspiracy theory that I was out to destroy the image of the classic muscle cars. I told him fine... whatever, you find the articles/proof that I couldn't find. Well, it has been about
*SEVEN* years now and we're still waiting! You'd think, surely, in SEVEN YEARS he could have found the time to crack open at least a few boxes from his "ton and a half" of magazines and post the 'good numbers', wouldn't you? Sorry, no luck yet guys and girls, as he hasn't posted a thing... ZERO! Absolutely no road tests. And now the time slips from all his racing experience, they're gone... vanished!
In the words of Paul Harvey, "and now you know the rest of the story."
While we're waiting for Rick to post the numbers, let's see if we can catch the episode on Speed Channel with the classic muscle cars going head-to-head... gotta love that Boss 9...
