According to Brian copans the AMLS GT3 guys are doing 150+ mph, so i did not think we could go faster than that.
I do not go by the speedo.. it's rpm x gear ratios x tire diameter.
When I regeared my car I looked into this.

If you wanted to convince me that a 1:38 = a sub 1:30, you would have videoed your runs, and then posted the fast lap. We all could have then agreed if you were held up by traffic or not. Or you could have rented a car for the race and come out and proved yourself at an actual race. Of you could have driven your car at the Mosport DE that is part of the race and I would have timed you myself. But you did none of these things. You boasted and made a bunch of absurd like "I'll give you $10k if you beat me". But in the end, you didn't prove you can do a sub 1:30 in a street GT3 on MPSCs.
But as DrJupeman said, a 1:38 is a good time for that car on street tires. That makes you a pretty fast driver, but maybe just not quite as fast as you think. Oh, and I'll also give you some credit for being funny. When you changed your avatar, that was good stuff.

I ran 1.8 seconds faster in my car than David Murray did when he drove it...does that mean I am better than he is? No f-ing way.

Btw, did you ever hook up with Rick to rent the cup? I was still hoping to see you'd come "kick all the *** in PCA"
You shouldn't trash talk Noble for the rental ride. I called this guy Rick twice and left messages about his rental rides and I got no reply at all.

The guys at the event all said he is a good driver.. the GT3 is very fast and low 1.30's is possible. My previous Z06 on Toyo's which is just as quick as the GT3, it did a 1.32 at the Solo 1 event. with the right driver a good tire it could happen with the GT3.[/QUOTE]
I totally agree.

Btw Nobel, I realize that 95% of the trash talking is coming from your friends/acquaintences. I guess they are hoping that if they kiss your *** long enough, some or your magic go fast juice will leak out. So just keep clentching
I absolutely agree that a GT3 can do 1:32. But that is a far cry from 1:29. On Hoosiers with a track specific setup (Motons, springs, monoballs, etc), maybe. But not on MPSCs & the stock suspension.
