Unpopular opinion. I'm so frustrated I hate car shows/cruises.

I’ll add that I hate regal Nazi’s, the guys that tell me I fucked up the engine build which always proceeds to….

You should have (hate those two words by themselves)
Used *** part, that part, engine to small, etc…

Followed by, Why didn’t you (next two hated words at a car show)
Build a stroker, use this part etc….

The all knowing know it alls.

It flips me out when they say how much HP and I answer I don’t know. They say why not? I say I did t dyno the engine… ether followed by why not or what do you think it makes it not the same previous question of how much power do you think it makes worded differently.

When they say what do you think it makes, I always say I’m not a human dyno my guesses normally suck, but I’ll say, oh, I’m not sure but I’d guess over 400.

What a mistake that is! They say the dumbest ****.

So one day I decided to just lie, see what’s said, and I have an answer to what ever they say….. cause I’m a lier on purpose!

(Dickhead) How much HP?
(Me) 422 @ 6200.
DKH No way! BS!!!! That thing makes 340/350 hp
Me Really? Well, I don’t remember you in the dyno room.

That gets ignored. Now seriously. Imagine you dyno your engine and some used up dirty *** wipe is literally yelling loudly and sometimes screaming at me I’m a lier even though I repeat myself “I don’t remember you in the dyno room.”

Oh yea, people are better at HP guesses than the dyno is at telling the truth.

Gotta love these A holes.

Just the modern way of "bench racing". Never cared for it. When I was younger, we'd just go out of town and see whose car was the fastest. No BS involved. Seen too much BS in horse power numbers in my little world. A 1968 396 Chevelle 4 speed that ran in the 16's, a 1970 375 hp LT1 that was a dog, a mid 70 Trans Am. I also got a healthy respect for guys that just had fast cars and never bragged. They didn't know how much horse power their engine made. Usually they had to be challenged and would accomodate the challenger. No money involved. Those are the stories I still remember today, decades later, some of them I can still see their faces. Yes, I have stories about my car, the 273, 4 speed early Barracuda.
