If you stop breaking parts, Frank might have to get a second job.

Nice little tire wrinkle you got there...
I was but Frank asked me to try these first. From his experience, he felt the sidewall was more than soft enough, and the compound stickier than the ET Streets, to more than do the trick. They did great. No hop. Forgiving. I think I need a taller tire though and, sadly, so does he. They'll be up in the FS section soon and I'll get the 28" version. Great tire.

Thx! I've never been together long enough to wrinkle the tires! BTW, Melissa forgive me yet?

I think your accomplishment of not putting the car in the lake was WAY bigger! In the end we all had a blast.

It had to be the Magnaflow CB that got that wrinkle

Ken I never thought I would see slicks and centerlines on your car.
How fast have you gone with the car so far.

I had a feeling that was you but without the hat & beard I wasn't too sure. Plus, I put about 300 miles under me that day driving all over PA & South Jersey. It was a hectic day at that point.

The Magnaflow wasn't on the car yet. Gotta get inspected with the full factory emissions soon. Once done, I'll throw it on.

The Holeshots are a nice touch. Same ones as Frank & Walt's.....yet I ordered them not knowing that.

Car does 11.6s around 121 if I get the 60's in the low 1.6s.....which doesn't happen that often. Still learning the car but damn happy how it all came together. Even with botched launches its in the 11s.

Thx for the good words. Hopefully next time I will recognize you.
