damn christian...... you really going all out now huh??????

bout time you saw the light......

so are you taking that thing off the street and going WCHRA racing or what????? I'd like to do limited 10.5 but cuz we're EFI we're at a MAJOR disadvantage.....

only 1 stage and a -4 line..... 10.5 max tire, no w's... stock doorpanels and interior.... but no aftermarket computers allowed... so we're fucked....


but it would be sweet if we could find a class that both of our cars would fit in... would make for some great heads up racing with two 4th gens against a horde of old skool musclecars...

I'm doing lexan front and rear as well as soon as I get back to flying and put the money in the bank.... when is your car going to robbies????

Just trying to get this dam thing into the nines on the motor! As far as classes go, I think I still meet all the requirements you have listed. And as far as the lexan windows go, I have ordered the front and rear both drop ins from speed tweekers. We need more people to purchase the front one though. This way I can get mine faster! Order one man!

what is your best on motor currently????? you need to drop what like 4-5 tenths???/

I'd say a hell of a gear like 4.56's and drop weight like you are planning...

but 4.56's are gonna be way too much for spray.... that's the tradeoff i suppose...

speedglass for the front and rear is a direct drop-in like stock glass and doesnt require rivets so it looks completely stock

as far as ive heard, cant have lexan side glass and still be functional to roll down. also heard it needs bracing

I'll be curious to see how it looks Brian, I'm hoping for a factory look from the pre-tinted rear drop in I have coming, if the glue will hold it and the molding is put back on it should be pretty stealth, I'm very intrested in how the front one looks.

Are you installing one of the front windows with the factory style blackout around the edge?

I am using the Speedglass but I prefer to do my own blackout if I do the install in house.
