Well okay... I realize this thread was like 5 months old but surely the truck is still running or something. If you guys decide you want to run come on over to dfwss home and hit me up. Thanks and see ya.
Contact info?
Ok, I'll race the truck. Here are my stipulations. truck on slicks vs. the Taurus, and it has to be raining.:beer: Well since it was brought back from the dead, thought I'd throw that out there.
Just a re-quote for the one on tech talking about how our reason was BS and we were just scared.
Here's is the quote from tech.
BTW, have you ever tried to pedal a TD?
Have you ever even been in a TD?
Probably thinking TD? What the hell is TD?
Well when you figure it out you may understand why we didn't try to pull this off.
Logistics was the worst part.

I left it above. Boostedgt on Dfwss.org or on ls1tech.com
So the car you were offering up had never made a full pass down the street but you offered it up to race? That doesn't make any sense. Why even offer it up? Lol.
I said in the current set up. Changed the progressive controller and freshened up the motor.
Why? It should have enough trap speed to run them down.
Why again?
It's called, hustle the hustler.
I offered to put up the money for my buddy just to see it happen.
In the end it isn't worth it to take a chance of blowing a 30K+/- motor or going to jail.
It isn't like we could hide 70+ feet of motor home and trailer or load the car fast enough to get out.
I tried to set it up and failed. But to say we were scared is reaching.
The only thing we were scared of is hurting ourselves. lol
Im just a middle man here. just tryin to figure out the easiet way to set this up to put you in contact with the truck.
Do you have the yellow gt that's all over youtube.
Thats me... Shouldn't be hard for the truck owners to research me and figure out if they can stay in front of me for the 1/4 mile.
PM me the truck owners phone number... Or send me a PM and I'll give you mine.
Sorry man I'm not really following your logic. All I see is excuses. But what do I know, I'm just a dumb hillbilly from Texas.
Edit:
Since I tend to over explain I'll make it simple.
Of all the things that could go wrong 5K isn't worth taking the chance.
However being scared of or embarrased by the truck is 1 thing we were not really worried about.
If they or anyone sees it as excuses then fine by me.
BTW, I wish you luck and would like to see it go down.
I hope you know the truck and what you're going up against.

Looks like a mid-high 8 second car.
Fast, but I don't know if I'd be so quick to race this truck for 5k on the street.:shrug:
In any event, I'm definitely eager to see the results if this pans out.
Mid-high 8 second car? You must have watched the wrong videos. My pile of junk hasn't been an 8 anything. We run 1/8th mile here in Texas. My junk goes 5.90's to the 660'.
Please let this happen... Anybody have a link to more info on the truck?
So depending on what it picks up on the big end it should be low 9s
The truck from what I hear should be high 8s maybe low 9s depending on what they are spraying.
It will launch on the street like a bat out of hell though.
