If it's any consolation I have no contact with any relation from my family. I'm the black sheep and after 45 years I just don't give a d*mn any more. I hope you can show how ignorant he is but remember that you didn't just marry him you married the family. I hope you can work this out but if you can't I'll be more than happy to have you come down for and see what living in the TRUE middle of nowhere is.
The NERVE of some people!

well try and relax.. I know its hard to do BUT that would piss him off more. One of my best stories of my daughter's GN . She was at a wedding of one of her friends and was at a "Racing table". Groom comes up to the table and started the fun. "Ok who has the fastest car here ?" Camaro "racer" jumps right up "I do" . Groom smiles and looks at Melissa and asked her "hey what does your street car GN run? "9.94 with a grin" .. "Camaro guy" well how fast ?? 138+ .. Conversation was over 
good luck with the car :biggrin:

Let it go.
You have an unfair advantage- you have a 6Cyl.
And just to make you feel better.
My wife swears my mom has it in for her.
And If I wasn’t bias I would swear to it too. But since it’s my mom I just keep having firm son –mother talks and I keep them as far away as possible.

ignore the ignorance
you married the son but dont take schit from his family, i wouldn't step foot in his house again for awhile unitl he appologizes, how would he like it if someone insulted a lady in his family ? next time he insults you about your car, tell your husband no man will tolerate another man insulting his wife. he must be worried your GN will kick his chevelles ass .

give him a ball tap...that should fix his old ass.
I say, just drop it. Be the bigger man. That will show him even more since you are a woman. I would just distance yourself from him. If he is always like that, then that is the best way to handle it. If he did just have a bad day, or week, or whatever, then your distancing yourself will show him that you don't appreciate his attitude. That is if he is smart enough to figure it out. As for the racing thing. I wouldn't set out to beat his ass into the ground. Just pretend that it didn't happen and just concentrate on getting the car running right. You would hate to get out there and try to really show him up, and then break something. It would be better to just have it come up in conversation. That would shut him up even more. You may never get the race after that, but he wouldn't dare bring it up.
I wouldn't let it bother you any more than it already has.

Update
Thought I would give ya'll an update on this. I sure haven't got my apology yet...BUT...I did find out why he seems to think the way he does. Apparently "my car isn't fast because its a V6, and he's been around cars his whole life and GN's aren't anything special...just another car, still thinks it'll blow up (now it's because I can't drive)". As an added bonus, he now has "money" on it that Kyle's car will be faster than mine.
OMG! What a jerk! Kyle's car is a 1988 IROC. Small block (350). Nothing special really...well, put it this way...there's 15K+ in the car and it STILL run 15's because it was his first build...didn't know what he was doing. So there are good parts in it, just not the right combo. I've got a leeo tranny...and much done to the engine (to the tune of $10K). Still have the stock turbo and intercooler, but 42# injectors (for now). I'm no genious, but even with that extremely limited information, I 'd be willing to bet most on here would say I would hand the IROC it's rear on a shiny silver platter. Ignorant people make me mad...cocky, arrogant, jealous ignorant people make me want to prove them wrong!!!
Thanks again for listening...I'll get my daggone apology one day!!! lol

Unless you & your Hubby are dependant on this Old Crank in some way shape or form. I would just ignore him until your car is done. Let the old GN settle the dispute which will make it case closed.

im telling u...a ball tap will get his attention.
My wife doesn't think that hurts.
I tell her it really, really does. she just laughs.Well first off I agree your father in law is ignorant and jealous. He obviously is still stuck in 1960-something.....if he's really been around cars his whole life, then he obviously was very sheltered to a particular era...say 1960's/early 70's.
Better things have happened since then. If you asked him what the best Chevy heads are I'll bet he'd swear up and down it's "camel humps" (or double humps)....then ask him what the best Chevy engine was....wouldn't surprise me if he said a "327". Truth be told a set of Vortecs will beat the pants off a set of Camel Humps and a 383 will run circles around a 327 all things equal.
Now....with that said don't let his ignorance get to you. Build your car. Build it well. Then once it's going and he starts spatting off on how a "V6 can't touch a V8", call his bluff. Challenge him to a race. See if he accepts the challenge. I'm sure he'll probably come up with a flock of excuses....no biggie. Race your hubby then. In fact, make a bet on it. He did bet you didn't he? Ok good. Have him go to the track to watch you and your hubby live in action. Get a friend to video tape his priceless facial reaction when you outrun your hubby's Camaro.
That's probably the only way to make a believer out of him...that is as long as he doesn't want to believe your hubby was purposely going slow just to make it look as if you were winning. And if he still wants to continue to be ignorant, then let him. Can't change him nor should you try.
Some people in this world were born ignorant close minded tards that only want to believe what they want to. Good for them. I won't waste my time arguing with idiots like that, I just let them believe what they want to.
Oh....and here's another one.....ask him if his Chevelle even runs....
Then ask him how can you dis someone elses car when yours hasn't ran in 24 years...? Yeah.....thought so too....
