Just my $0.03.

(of course, I don't know how the discussion continued after I went to bed, maybe he reverted his position again)

I seriously point... At the same time, most of the posts I've deleted were breaking the rules... EVEN THOUGH they made a good points. If they kept the forum rules, I would of kept it, but didn't & I don't have time to edit.

OK, fair enough

It shouldn't be deleted because it teaches a deep lesson right now, the worst part is that he necroed a 2-3 year old thread to brag about him topping out through traffic like it's no big deal. @WTFRS86 is super insecure and gives everyone in this community a bad name.

The passion and concern in my responses goes way beyond a necroed thread or a bad name for the community.

My daughter and her family including my two young grandsons live near Toronto and make frequent trips there to visit my son in law's aunts. Now Toronto is a big place and I don't know where WTFR drives but the thought of them coming even close to somebody weaving through traffic at 142 MPH horrified me.

The casual manner in which he stated it and then his flippant response to my name calling (it was the first ever in anger) clearly show he still does not understand that what he did and probably still does, is just plain wrong!

I will say straight up that if anything happened to those boys due to some idiot street racer the driver better hope to hell he dies in the crash because that would be getting off easier then when I got a hold of him. "Sometimes you got to do what you got to do" would take on a whole new meaning.

I do not know what was deleted but appreciate that ichi left mine. I know they are strongly worded but it is a strong message and I still think it failed to make an impression.

Some days, I hate using my phone to type... Damn autocorrect. Anyways, my point is, make a point isn't an issue. When name calling, threading another member &/or that goes against the rules posts will get deleted (if reported).

That autocorrect got you again, Ichi


I'm going to thread you T, let me google that and I'll get back to you; it sounds invasive.

I don't carry around my laptop when I go to business trip... & you'll see more autocorrect (til next wk Wed)

Good luck to you. I fat finger phones and tablets something awful.

I can't think of anyplace that would allow someone to reach the top speed of this car legally. Daytona is the highest speed track that I have access to and the Rolex configuration ensures that top speed would not be achieved there.


The highest speed I have seen with stock power was 118 mph at the end of the long front straight at Roebling Road. In contrast, with header and E85 tune the car now reaches 128-130 mph.

I should actually have some of my law enforcement contacts look him up, screenshot his post, shouldn't be too hard to find him seeing as we have his location, car model/color, I think I may just do that... He does deserve a medal... a giant one made of cement so we can drop him in the ocean but I have a feeling Darwinism will do it's work for us shortly.

YEs please!!!! Now I really wonder how fast I could get on one of those... provided it's a closed course, private road(with guaranteed no traffic) or an abandoned airstrip or something.... I keep wondering whether or not my small local airport would allow me to get on their runway to do logs and try my top speed ? probly not

abandoned airport runways, and local airports or you know salt flats(e.g Bonneville)

Yup. If you're flat out up the Esses and stay on it as late as you can before the bus stop crashing the first ones pretty hard 120 is about the best my stock plus exhaust & drop in FR-s saw and it's struggling.

Even on the Pocono Mega Configuration we run (3.something miles), exiting the infield at the top left red (see below) and running clockwise all the way to the 1st top right blue, 120 is still about it. You're just revving the bejesus out of the motor and not really getting any faster.
