Re: Bloomsburg nationals
This may be a long read but had to relate this story. At Bloomsburg today a N/A pulled in behind my SRT6 and as I was just wandering around did not realize that I owned that Xfire. Anyway he started telling my brother and I how he could blow the doors off my car because he had a $69 "chip" in his and a really small "nitrous" set up. He was also trying to tell us that his car had way more than 215 hp stock. I couldn't even stand to talk to this blithering idiot. My bro tried to explain what was in my car, ie. NW DCAI and manifolds, EC 181 pulley and HE, colder plugs, Inmotion tune, glass beaded crank, cams, SL55 fuel pump, etc . of course that didn't seem to mean anything to him. He insisted his car was the fastest Xfire on the planet. He should meet Grip. I am not as fast as Grip is but it is closer to 11.5 than it is 12 in the 1/4. My quandary is "How could this guy be allowed to own a car as good as this?" I have never talked to anyone this ignorant of the car and the capabilities of the 2 models. What a shame. But on another note, they did not have classes here, just gave awards to about 20 special cars and trucks, which did not include my car. The ones selected were indeed very nice, my fav was a 52 Caddy convertible, periwinkle blue with white interior and top, just spectacular. Also the PPG rep was there and displayed their Vibrance colors which were sharp, wouldn't mind if my car was painted in either of about 3 of those colors. Anyway, I hope that next year, several of you guys can find your way there, I would love to meet a lot of the guys on the forum. I will be joining CICCI soon and was told that if a club was registered that they would be given a space so that they would be in a group. Anyone interested let me know, I'll check back next year, nearer to show time.
