Speaking of times.

12.11 @ 116.2 at VMP tonight with 90+ temp and not sure on humidity. 1.84 60' leaving at around 5K. It was the third round of eliminations in the street wars series and I lost because I broke out, Oh, well I am happy with the numbers based on the weather conditions and can't wait to get the car to a fall track rental with some good air.

Video coming soon.

Previous best was 11.72 @119.2 but that was in the fall in really good air. I'm hoping to right back there, if not a little better when it cools off.

That one ran a 13.47 or 13.49. That MPH and ET is on par with most stock A4 F-bodys. Maybe it was a slow one from that factory, but that's what it ran. The guy was doing a pretty good at the tree and getting it moving on factory rubber too.

Oh Im with you on that.... Im not saying all will break 12's, but there have been more then one that have gone 12's, so.... I guess what Im saying is the ones that runs 12's are the "factory freaks" and the ones that run 13's are the average ones.... Just like F-bodys are.

Either way.... When Shawn is done with this one, he'll be able to run 11's with letting off at the 1/8th.... Haha.

Did you guys drive that Charger through the Birdneck Business Park a few days back? I was at Auto Elite working on my car and one drove through.

Youre alil biased though to an opinion of whether its a 12's second car or not.... You think a 10sec car feels slow, so.... Haha.

Well, like I said earlier, maybe the ones we used for training were "ringers" and had alil taken out of them or given alil bump in power to make them perform slightly better.... Who knows?

Shawn go weigh Al's car....

Any one here know whether or not it is mandatory to have my car inspected if it is registered and tagged through Texas?

VA inspection? that only applies to cars registered in VA.

But Tx requires inspection, doesn't it?

Kyle has never had the TA inspected while he has been in Va.... And everyone knows that car is far from legal.

If the Gate Guard is giving you problems. Tell you Chief some times the MAs miss the part where inspections/front plates are only to be enforced on VA cars. When I was Oceana we had a problems with MA's being ghey about that stuff.
