As far as springs/shocks go, it is a drag car, so i am going with QA1 R series for the fronts and double adjustable in the back with 275lb springs up front.

well, i guess everyone has their own opinions, so to each their own. i will have videos of it at the track later this week of it pulling the wheels and cutting sub 1.6 60fts. so if you think it looks slow, trust me, it's not. And Silver02TA, yours looks like hell as well!

LOL someone said it 'looks like hell honestly'
that made me laugh.

I think it looks AWESOME!!!
Those wheels and tires is the same look/performance im after.

If you adjust your wire covers a little to fit better - legthen some to fill space/gaps etc. it would look better. But no way does it looks like hell

With a DA of 2733, 85 degree heat, and a 15mph headwind, it ran 12.14 @ 110, with a 1.65 60ft time. next time out it will be in the 11's for sure. Oh and it is N/A, stock internals, stock TB, stock pulley, and stock 2.73 rear end. I'd say it goes for the mods.

Dont think it looks like hell. Looks like another black Z, except his has race seats, no rear seat and red accents. Only thing making it "look like hell" is the fact its not clean. But who cares. Spring isnt even a month old yet, so he'll have plenty of time to shine 'er up!

thanks guys. the reason it is not clean is because it was the day after i took it to the track. so there is quite the buildup of rubber on the car from the burnout box. the rims are weld prostars, and i mainly got them for drag racing; although they do look sweet.

Mods include:

LT's with 3in/3out Dr. Gas X pipe, 3in duals, flo-pro twisters, and dumps before the axles
LS6 Intake
SLP Lid
FTRA
TCI SSF 4000 stall
Trans Go Shift Kit
15x3.5 Weld Prostars with 26in Kumho radials
15x10 Weld Prostars with 275/50/15 MT Drag Radials
Stock Pulley and TB
Stock 2.73 Gear
BMR Boxed SFC
BMR CM Dbl Adj LCA

all of these netted me a 12.14@ 110.
