Oops, sorry Doc. Must have mixed your car up with one of the other 4th gens out there. Good luck on the work!

There was also a silver 98 Z28, that may have been the one your referring to.

By the way, that was the first time I didn't see you at the track...lol !!

Yeah, I was slacking this past weekend, making up with the wife for being gone at the LSX Shootout the previous weekend. Wish the damn weather would cool off again, I might head out Wednesday.

Well I won't be there for a while. I need Doc to adjust my tranny settings again. It decided to start bouncing off the limiter again on the 1-2 shift. On top of that, I have developed a bad vibration somewhere...from the bellhousing to the diff ??? I changed tires and rims so that is out. Also, I can shift to nutral/idle while rolling and the vib is still there, so the motor is ruled out. I can even feel it in the gas peddle. Starts to get bad about 52 mph on up.
Starting with drive shaft. Going to get it balanced this week. Tranny is new from EFI, diff is new tru-trac, yoke is new Billet and u-joint is new hardened.

I know the sheer # of street tires can make the traction a little less than running a ton of slick tired cars to keep the groove up, but I believe the traction is a little better than you make it out to be.

Ya that's him. But, most of my experience is just being a spectator/racer for the last 6-7 years. I've just seen a big down fall in just the past couple years in traction there.

Anyways, I'll be able to make hooters this Thursday. Will be in a GT500 too

I know Gainesville being a little more strict on tech versus other tracks doesn't help much either, but oh well. If the damn rain holds off, I may venture out tonight.

Hooters tomorrow sounds good, and look forward to seeing the GT500.

Don't care if you or your wife is scared of it. I'm driving a nicer/faster car than I have to a car meet. But since it's not an f-body I guess it's not worth owning or even driving to you . Oh well, I can see past brands, some people can't I guess.
