Super duper Easter egg cars with volvo parts are known to do that on occasion.

Especially when a hobbit with a driver mod is involved.

If you would like to come see my car launch at the drag strip you're more than welcome as I've invited both you and your friend to come down to Nam and race with us. Until then I'll limit my suggestions to people who have both seen my car run and launched manual cars on slicks thenselves. Thanks though.

Its ok keep listening to 4link guys, I don't doubt them a bit on a 4 link set up. Torque arm set up is totally different. ever think your having a hard time so something needs changed, and it wouldn't hurt to try at this point?

Learn how to link a video and maybe I'll tell you. But considering you're not doing a clutch dump on slicks in a 3800 pound race weight I'd say the setup was just a bit different, hmm? And, oh considering you weren't driving, doesn't say much for you.

Keep dumping the clutch while it already has traction issues I hear that helps. Btw its on a radial. Your car should do better than it on a slick.

You're welcome to come see my car launch and I'll even let you bring a jack and some tools to the dragstrip and you can change them for me. Hell, tell you what, I'll even pay your gas. Then based on the result you can either go do an I told you so dance or you can go sulk in a corner. Either way I'm driving my car faster and differently than you've driven yours and taking advice from people who have actually done what I'm attempting to do, not someone who sits on the sidelines and watches someone else do what they can't. Don't get so butthurt, lol.

Your on a 9inch, and have a cam and your on a slick only went .2 faster than I drove my own car with manifolds. Can you not add that up? I was being nice and not my usual dick face self to you. But your too lazy or hard headed to try it. Whats it really gonna hurt at this point just to move 2 bolts and try it?

I didn't realize the dragstrip gave time breaks for modifications? Because I went faster with what I have...and you went slower with what you had...hmm. I'll let you add that up buttercup. My offer above still stands for this weekend. Or May 31st, an event Heater and others from here will be at. At a well prepped 1/8th, no less. Feel free to show up, I'll even buy you a beer.

Him and Hio can't leave them hills of West Virginia (add music from Deliverance ).

The way our 1/4 mile track has been prepped here lately, he won't be getting an 11 anytime here soon. The best 60 ft. I've gotten there lately has been a 1.5 and that's turrible for my car

You didn't go faster than me in his car Hell I been faster than you in my car with no type of drag tire at all, near full weight, normal trans, normal clutch, 10 bolt. What's your excuse for that?

I've tried to help him dude. It's no use. He would rather tighten up his speaker wire.....which is fine. But be happy with shitty results.

Clocks don't give breaks.......But when you add up someone's mods such as yourself you can clearly see where there is room for improvement.
