Sean, you need to stop by on Sat after work and drive the car. I need to see if someone else can feel when i think is a vibration at ~70mph...and i feel a vibration in the clutch pedal if i push on it a little bit, and i dont remember if it did that before.. and i keep hearing things, and i dont know if im just paranoid


oh! and dont forget about Sunday!! (Andra's parents bringing our furniture...)
I think the ????? is getting just a tad bit better then that.... when I keep out of boost. Im only getting about 260 or so miles out of a tank. Its only a 12 gallon tank though.

I was over at James house til late last night and Jessica wanted to go get something to eat.... Sorry. Ill stop by before we head out on Saturday.

What time are we starting on Sunday?

Hey Shawn, I'm bringing that Audi down there today during lunch. The guy's got a meeting or something to go to but if you still have time to take a peek at it for me then I'll definitely have it down there for you. He's already said he'll throw down on it today if you can do it for less than an aftermarket bolt-in system.

-And thanks for the kind words about the truck. That one run between me and Darren was pretty fun, another couple hundred feet and I'd have reeled him in. He was on the hook hard....

Well like I said earlier, I had 3 boost leaks that were the reason for me not being able to boost 18psi and hold it.... If you take it to the track rental on Oct 19th, you can have another shot.... Hopefully youll have to use the nitrous to run me though.... I want to break into the 12's with it the way it sits right now. We'll see.

Your truck definetly ran its *** off when you hit the nitrous though.... Sounded sweet too!

hopefully I'll have some tires on it by then... I really want to come out for that. if I do, it will probably be my last trip to the track before I leave here. if I can get some tires, do a little more nitrous tuning, and get a hose that doesnt leak LOL... I'll be deep in the 12's... I might even back it down to a 100 shot so I can launch it on the bottle, and spray it the whole track instead of just starting in 2nd gear.

If you put some good tires out back, you shouldnt have a problem spraying out the hole.... You should easily be deep into the 12's if you launch on the bottle.

yeah, I think a 100 shot for the whole track will get me better times than a 150 for part... the stock suspension is working fairly well even with the amount of drop in the rear. I hope it doesnt start wheel hopping with slicks on it.

Well, i really wish i could have gotten a chance to see that monstrosity of a camaro run down the track, maybe when i get back from deployment! I am flattered that u thought my car ran well considering me and u are on to different planets when it comes to experience and actualy going fast. Ben had me pretty scared on that run, but that was exactly what i was looking for in a race all day with chauncey and im really sad his car wasent working right cause he really wanted to break me off after tha tough losses at VMP afew months ago. But he has plenty of time to repair and rebuild while im gone!

either one would have been great LOL... I know we had a hell of a run, especially on the top of the track... just as long as you know you were on the hook, and I was reeling you in with a quickness...

Sean was running 13.7's and 6's with that skittle which was extremely impressive for being bone stock with the exception of a WG spring (I think) and some good smelling fuel LOL... I was running that on motor. Our 60's were almost identical all day due to him being FWD and me being on the street bricks. It would have been a more side by side, back and forth run all the way down than me and you... you had me by .148 on the 60' and I had to play catch up and you ended up beating me by .126 at the stripe. I was slower by .158 at the 1/8 mile... if the 60's were closer, it'd have been a better race, both of us on street tires, or both of us on sticky's would have been a dead nuts run...

I'll post both our timeslips side by side. it was a damn good race.

Who the **** are you??? Am I embarrassed? No reason to be. You were already told who won the race.... Whats there to be embarrassed about? A car with more horsepower and better gearing edged me out.... Go figure.

Only person who should be embarrassed is you for putting such shitty numbers down with a big 382ci!

Like I said previously, it wasnt my camera. So when the guy who owns the camera is done finalizing the disc, it will be posted.

Ive seen you already speak for everyone more then once. STOP!! And please stop with the first letter of every word having to be caps. People will take you more seriously when you stop....
