78 Chevy Luv DESTROYS 04 Esprit

[JeffYoung]

I took off the air cleaner lid, and removed the throttle stops. The motor is really uncorked now, kind of like the 80 models that came from the factory with the Poopchip ECU, and really made 58.7 hp, not the 58.3 claimed by the factory.

I went head to head with Kirk's Esprit right afterwards. We ran a 2 hour race. I got lapped 47 times in the first 22 minutes, but then the Esprit decided to take a dirt nap. I wheezed across the finish line a full 1.5 laps ahead of the Esprit, which was being hauled off on a flatbed the last time I saw it.

LUVs kick AZZ!

Hum... this is an attempt at a
The last time I saw it, it was at Viking Motorsports getting built like it should have been done when it left the factory. Now then Jeff, you mentioned something about "dirt" The Esprit (for the record) NEVER went in any dirt. It did however, turn, stop & transition faster than any Elise on the track (including my own.)
Also, it lasted 20,000 miles and about 30 hours of track-time use without any issues what-so-ever. It also posted a 10.8 second quarter mile and a top speed of 195mph. During this time it also blasted past a Ferrari Challenge Straddle @ 140mph. on the inside of turn 8 at Willow springs & spanked many other Porsche's, Ferrari's, Lambo's, Vett's ect. Not a bad record for any car Finally, one cast piston did let go. And that was on a hot day running over 20psi. on a track with a lot of long streights
Now that the truth is out, it's time to address that Chevy Luv thing... I can trully picture Jeff driving it

Ok, let's break this down:

YES -- AS IN RUNNING, LIKE MY LUV?

Now then Jeff, you mentioned something about "dirt" The Esprit (for the record) NEVER went in any dirt. It did however, turn, stop & transition faster than any Elise on the track (including my own.)

YES, IF YOU COUNT SPINNING AS "TURN, STOP AND TRANSITION." KIRK, TECH QUESTION. HOW DO YOU CLEAN POO OUT OF AN ESPRIT SEAT?

Also, it lasted 20,000 miles and about 30 hours of track-time use without any issues what-so-ever.

CACLULATED DOLLARS PER MILE:

$70K BUY PRICE
$15K HIGH DOLLAR REBUILD
20,000 MILES

$4 PER MILE NOT INCLUDING GAS, "NORMAL MAINTENANCE," GOLD CHAINS, WHITE RAY BANS AND 1000 ONE DOLLAR BILLS TO ACQUIRE STRIPPER G/FRIEND!

It also posted a 10.8 second quarter mile and a top speed of 195mph. During this time it also blasted past a Ferrari Challenge Straddle @ 140mph.

DOWNHILL. PUSHED BY THE JET STREAM, AND THREE GUYS NAMED BRUTUS. WITH THE GERBILS ON "FULL STEAM AHEAD."

on the inside of turn 8 at Willow springs & spanked many other Porsche's, Ferrari's, Lambo's, Vett's ect. Not a bad record for any car

THE PORSCHE WAS A 914. THE FERRARI WAS A FIERO WITH A BODY KIT. THE LAMBO WAS BROKE. THE VETTE WAS SAM MALONE'S.

Finally, one cast piston did let go. And that was on a hot day running over 20psi. on a track with a lot of long streights

BOOM! AND YET, OTHERS SHOULD DO THIS!

Now that the truth is out, it's time to address that Chevy Luv thing... I can trully picture Jeff driving it

I LOVED MY LUV. VROOM VROOM. IT'S GONE NOW THOUGH.

All in good fun!

WOW!! What an imagination
At least I can tell BOTH - jokes AND the truth. Jeff your "jokes" can be funny but your lies and Esprit hate are just dumb.

[JeffYoung]

Where's the hate?

I loved my Esprit. I just didn't worship it!

Yeah... sure you did. Did you have sex with it? Do you worship your wife?
