Car looks great. Bring it down to Houston and find out how bad she is. There are alot of fast cars down here. I'm not one of them so this isn't a call out or anything like that. Just trying to give you a heads up.

I know you don't hook enough for Texas cars with those rears. What are your mods? North of 600rwhp I hope, Texas is one of the toughest states to win races in, next to South Florida.

Get yourself some sticker tires for the street...and i'm sure you;ll have a blast. Not a bad list of mods with the F1 kit in there. Thats a great nitrous setup. Have fun with it.
