slappyracing (#29344) What do you think?
slappyracing traded a friend of mine his 2004 Danny Nelson for my friends 27 Roadster. Slappyracing told him it was a 511 BBC and that since his roadster had a 468 BBC he needed $3000.00 boot. I told my friend I thought it was a pretty good trade straight across since his roadster was just one year old and had a $8000.00 paint job. They ended up trading with my friend giving $1500.00 boot. When slappyracing pictured the dragster it had 4.82 et on the dial in board. I told my friend I was skeptical that it would run that fast. When he got the dragster home, he pulled the engine to check bearing and such. Finding that the engine wasn't a 511, but a .070 over 469, with a GM crank. My friend kinda wrote it off as a learning experience from a bullsh#t artist. But today I looked at slappyracing new ads, well as you would know it the roadster is forsale. The roadster fastest et a 5.90. Quess whats on the the dial-in board a 5.28. Is it just me or is this misrepresentation? #1546627

These people feed off the power of Bull $hit. Buy a race car from the track bottom line. Seller makes 2 or 3 passes and the car sells itself. We all know buying a used car or motor it's just that USED.
It may come apart next pass but if all the gauges check good and the car runs it's a deal. Nothing less should do or think of it as buying a car as a roller no matter if the motor comes with it or not.
Think I will post ans see if he claims it will back it up and will he meet at the track.

I have to agree with you two on that one. I think if he lets it get to him he'll end up driving to slappys house and given him a go old fashion ass whopping. I don't think slappy realizes who he's dealing with. He's definately not the calmest friend I have, but probably the best friend that I have. There still could be some fireworks over this one.
