Ready to Race... When's the rental?? Well, the car has been out officially for about two and a half weeks now! It has been ready to race since I put it away last season... Yesterday I added rear Drag Springs with my drag bags for insurance.... I have Catless Mid-pipes as well now, to lose the cats on race days.... so I am in even better condition to race this season!! But No cat-back yet! LoL 
Can't wait to try out the new ET Drags with the ProStars!!!! Perhaps a tweak in the tune (kill-mode) and some 10 second passes this year!!!
So when's the first gathering for a rental?? Don, Keith, Dave, Dan, Marco, Matt (8ALTNG), Matt (Cyborg), Anthony, Mike (02SCVette), Joe, Justin etc.....???

I can't wait to go bud. My car will be ready in approx 1 month from now I think. I'm gonna order up my rear next week and hopefully it will be in by then. Then I need to graciously ask Don again to tweak my gearing and shift points from last season. 
Worst case, I still go to hang out. Either way we will bring Mike's vette out I think, I'm curious to see how it runs

Nope.. closest I came was 11.29 @ 126
The wheels were spinning in the tires on launch and shifts... this year I will try out the 15" wheels and if need be put screws in them! I think that was the only thing holding me back besides not power shifting or perhaps the stock cat back.

Feels plenty strong and I still haven't taken it over 5k RPM's yet. Still got the traction issue though.... I just passed the 700 mile mark so it's time for another oil change. Handling seems really good with the new shocks too.Averaged 25 mpg in it today.

I think I'm looking at July at the first part to try my new car. I have to adjust the car and get used to the power. PUREVL spent alot of money on this car and I think I can run low 10's, or maybe high 9's. The issue I'm going to have to face is dealing with another 6 speed. Auto/power glides are easy. Only real drivers can handle standards,lol

Just let me know man. I am still saving money up over here for the fuel system and the bar. The cam only runs are promising for a high 11 sec pass off the nitrous.

Cool guys... This should be a great season.
Mike- I can't wait to see results with the fresh motor and clutch!
Fred99Z28- are you buying Purevl???
Marco- What's left to do, to get the car going?
Dave- What did you have done to the car? Spill the beans....
Anthony- I am still saving for a few things for the car as well but I really want a ten second pass on the stock H/C/bottom end first! We'll have to do a rental or a T&T whereas I have the full slicks, unless I find some ET Streets or make an attempt on DR's
Getting the itch, just have to find a trailer.
