Okay, I just got the call from Execmalibu and IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!!!
The challenge was thrown down by Execmalibu and Dan Byers (the big softie from SB) has made it possible. I forsee one of the largest turnouts in Open Track history. Come One! Come All! See the greatest show on turf at the fastest road in the West!! Nov. 15th I'll be there with my camera - which does video, too - and my 356 race car.
FOR THE RECORD:
My dad is the infamous Tony Gerace of TLG Auto in N. Hollywood, CA. He was IN THE CAR when Execmalibu did the infamous 165.
Pops just got back form New York and I filled him in on what's been going on here. He just laughed at all you nonbelievers - especially after I told him that Dave B. of TRE corroborated Execmalibu's story. I asked my dad to recount what happened and this is what he said: That damn sonofa***** was at 7800 and still pulling. I watched the needle on the speedo go
PAST 165 and I thought to myself, "What the hell am I doing here?"
There it is fellas. Straight from the mouth of a REPUTABLE PORSCHE MECHANIC THAT WAS THERE!
So go ahead and call BS; say you don't believe him blah blah blah. The fact of the matter is that it DID happen and the car in question DOES DO the things that Execmalibu claims it can do.
Like I've said before, I've driven the car. I've winged the motor. I've shown it 7,500 and the little bastard was still pulling STRONG.
On another note, the only reason this thread bothers me is the name calling and personal insults from BOTH sides. If you guys want to call BS on the ad, that's cool. If you want to dispell his claims using formulas and calculations (because everyone's a mathematician and a physicist on the internet
) go ahead. But to call a guy you don't know a scumbag, a liar, a drugdealer, a douchebag, etc. is dirty pool and just plain rude. And don't act surprised when that person responds in kind. If you goade someone into a fight, don't be astonished when they knock you in the face - literally or metaphorically.
