yea that dude is funny, lets say there was this guy bob who had the same exact setup as greg did, well i was with bob, and bob raced him from a roll, bob started in 2nd gear at about 10 mph, while mr bosnian started in 1st, of course he beat us, we were trying to get him to go from second so there wouldnt be any tire squeeling(attraction).... now he thinks he's the shit because he has a STOCK turbo dsm(what good does a cyclone motor do without the right electronics to get the IM valves to work?) not to mention it doesnt do anything but give a little more torque..

bob would rape his ass.

lol..


*all events described above were made up.




i agree though, there is so many crap cars in roanoke its not funny.. while others run like a bunch of morons, burn out, and fly out of the parking lot, I casually walk back to my car, and drive off like normal.. haha
as for the rice in lynchburg, dont hang around rice lol..

There must have been a cruise-in that night because unless things have changed significantly since I stopped hanging out there most of the cars still suck on Wards Road.

hmm... well for starters.. yall really don't know what gee has under the hood. I will tell you it is not completely stock. He has or had an msd ignition on it that I know of and if he had that then it is leading me to think that he might have had to some other bolt ons.

Yeah the roanoke gatherings always end up in a scatter. If someone even mumbles the word cops people jet. Half the time the cops aren't even there, its just a misunderstanding. The only really fast car I've seen there is T's civic with the H22 and jessy's cobra. But one thing is for sure, I've never seen more Probes in one spot in my life. And they tend to do most of the racing that makes the cops come. 40 cars at an industrial plant, gee, wonder what they're doing?

[takes back my thread]
aaactuallly he had his hood up for like 20min and me and garan were doin some "inspecting" i saw no msd, i saw no am bov, no am anything for that matter. unless he had forged rods and pistons and all that internal crap, which by the sound of all that hard knocking, i really doubt he did, then he's completely stock. all we saw was him asking everyone around his car for tools so he could bleed his clutch in the walmart parking lot cause it had air in his lines after he had been cruising for 3 hours on willy, and then running the hell out of his car going to the food lion and walmart and ermm yea that last place i "wasnt" at.[/takes back my thread]
