me: "sure, what you got?"
guy: "that turbo cobalt... everything chevy makes is a POS and this is the only one that's any good"
me: "cool. so tell, me why did you pick me to run?"
guy: "oh, I usually run about the same times as 350Z's"
me: "so what kinda times do you run?"
guy: "you don't want to wait and see???" (cocky grin)
We lined up and and I ran a decent time... 13.6 @ 105?. He ran a 14.7 @ 107 mph.
me: what happened to you on that run?
guy: Let's run again, I'll turn up the boost.
I think I ran the same time again, he gained maybe a 0.1 et / 1mph.
Side note: The rules at PBIR are: 13.999 and faster requires a helmet. I knew he was full of sh*t when he pulled up to line WITHOUT a helmet!
I don't think your response helps him much, that and you probably did that with slicks + 7AT... he's got street tires and 6MT.

they say the same at the local tracks here about helmets but rarely enforce it.
sidenote i almost took down a viper last friday. hot and humid so the Z wasnt running well.
lost by .2 seconds
