8.5 are close. It rubs at the end of the track when you are braking but we are going to trim the plastic splash guards a bit to make it work. Then again the 245 street tires rub a tad also in the front so it is to be expected.

Suspension is all stock save for a set of Progress springs. Looking for a suspension company to sponsor the car.

Yeah, because your Trapspeed is that of a Low 12sec run.

By the way...No video.. :? Man Yall got to think about this stuff....

Can you scan in the Timeslip though?

Hope you don't think I was hatin.. I was just asking to see it run. I am a video junkie... :D


Not raising the BS flag just because I want to see video either. No reason too, as there have been quite a few tC's to go low 12's before, and won't be the last.

Sadly no not yet. We just removed the jack and spare tire is all. Full interior. If anything we have added weight of the turbo kit and IC over stock. Ft wheels and slicks are feathery light though.

245's don't rub... if you have the proper offset wheels.

I'd like to see a video too.... or at least a timeslip.

Who's car was making the "popping" exhaust sound? I liked how she seemed upset about running 12.5 or was it about the wheel hop?

Anytime Ben. We'll be out there again soon. We will try to hit 11.9's with the Tc next time. With a good launch I think we can get there. We had 2.05 60 ft time. We should hit 1.6's with those slicks.

Do you mind taking a better video camera and not shut the camera off right as the boards light up too..
