: Just an anecdote on performance
jerryeads 11-14-2006, 09:35 AM I know I'm going to get in trouble for posting this, but maybe somebody will have fun with it:
Be it known that a classic/VE with a bunch of suspension stuff won't keep up with a new smart suspension 745 bimmer through a tight increasing altitude decreasing radius reverse camber turn, but it darn near stays even with one through 3rd gear redline - - - with 3 folks and 75 lbs of tools in the car. ;)
jacen99SE 11-14-2006, 01:10 PM 3 folks in the VE-Rooom or the 745?
civicdragon 11-14-2006, 01:42 PM very nice
jerryeads 11-14-2006, 02:38 PM In the VE. Each about 170. Two in the 745.

When will you ever grow up. Yes we know your only 22 years old but by this time you should start being a responsible member of society. Us old folks find it apauling to watch you guys having fun in your cars.
Listen grow up, get a job and use your car for what it was ment for basic transportation and not a road rocket.

Mr Eads appears to be in trouble. Damn old people actin' like kids. The guy in the 745 "forgot" to take his inzite. Get that thing empty and you'll take em'. Finally people with a sense of humor.
Teal97 11-15-2006, 07:31 AM ^^^ jerry having fun at the track again ;)
jerryeads 11-15-2006, 10:40 AM Who me? It's Miko's fault anyway - - - his motor --- :D
AL - lordy, I was just there playing cars with my kid - we were gonna ax over at the raceway (was fairgrounds) Sunday but just couldn't make ourselves go stay soaked all day. I'll try to remember to holler next time I come up.

Dont blame the guy who sold you the gun, blame the guy how loaded it, pointed it and fired.
When you get a chance please give me a call so I can give you a stern warning and lecture. :rofl:
jerryeads 11-15-2006, 07:25 PM Well heck, figgered if the politicians can blame the gun sellers for all the mayhem, I could blame Dre for my misadventures with the toy - - - -
Give ya a holler for my lecture in a day or so, m'friend :-)

Speed junkie blaming the dealer? :tsk:
That must have suprised a few folks, especially the guy in the BMW.
aknapp 11-16-2006, 01:27 PM Jerry, next time you're up this way, let me know via PM or e-mail.
BTW, when I had the EVL EGG, I had a similar experience with a Porsche 993 cabrio. I think he was a bit surprised that I didn't fall off much on the straight - kept up with him on the entrance ramp, though. :D
And notice I DIDN'T blame the speed dealer! :)
