I firmly believe my X gf was the cause of my loss to the only F-body that ever beat me on my 20 mile privately owned, back-yard 2-lane testing ground.

Well according to recently medical journal, the average human carries an average of 35 lbs of $hit. So keep if your fat a$$ take a dump and there is one of your weight reduction. Then do some freaking exercise!

haha


the trrend i am noticing is indeed trying to improve 'all around' performance. Sports cars are getting more power, and muscle cars are getting better suspension and handling. In the end, i think the consumer wins. a mustang will still be a mustang at heart, but it will be a better handling, more balanced mustang. A Z will still be a Z at heart, but it will have more power.

I have gained roughly 2.5 horsepower in the last 4 years. I am proud of my weight reduction.

Also, are you sure it was 35#? I thought it was 10#. 35# of **** would be like 4 milk-jugs full. My abdomen is nowhere NEAR that big, lol. Much less with room for all the other organs. Then, I doubt I hold 10# of crap. Lots of people don't eat right/are lethargic and don't have a BM every day, though.

I think you might be mis-placing a decimal.
