Daily drives in here!! Hay guys i just want to see how many of us daily drive our cars?? and what all do you have done to them? how many times do you go to the track with it?? How fast is it? Does it have A/C or not. i think this will be a fun read for us.
yes, i daily drive it as much as i can when there is no snow on the ground
what all do you have done to them? fully forged 385cu.in. LT1 fed by an intercooled T67 STS turbo
how many times do you go to the track with it?? as little as i can untilll i can upgrade the rear end, suspension and brakes
How fast is it? exotic killer, but it's slow because it's a rear mount turbo
....
Does it have A/C or not? yes, A/C and windsheild washer reservoir

yea i do... its an s10, makes around 600hp/tq and ive put just a tad over 7500 miles on it and have had it since september. no ac right now, not due to space just havnt got around to it but im sure i will once it warms up
I have the APS TT kit. Yes I DD the car in the warmer months (15k put on it last year). Yes I still have A/C. I only upgraded fuel system, pushrods & valvesprings. Rest of the mods are in my sig. The rest of the motor is still stock. And I am still on the stock 10 bolt, hence why it's on street tires and not something stickier. I have taken it to my carclub's track rentals and my best is a 12.3 @ 126 on the street tires.
My 99 is not totally a daily driver but it was built to be 99% street driven. It will make it to the track a couple times and then likely not go back as no plans right now to put a rollbar or cage in the car. I chose many of the mods based on keeping it streetable. Cam has bascially no lope, will be running 3.54 gears. Not going crazy on stall when switch over to 4l80e hopefully this season. Turbo cars are usually very streetable with properly sized turbos. The current turbos spool up very quickly and give a nice broad street powerband with more power than most tires can handle even at lower boost settings.
Since car is not totally daily driver might put on some et street radials this season as not sure even 315 nittos are going to work very good with the cars power potential.
The main thing about turbo cars is you have have a kitten pretty much off boost , as much as a built up 408 is a "kitten" LOL but an absolute tiger on boost.

I drive my chevelle all the time..been on 8-10lbs of boost since early last year.It ran a 9 flat with the old setup of 2.55 stock stall and just motor...so i will see what happens with the gearing and boost!Stock bottom end for now and hope to get out to the track soon before it gets too hot. 3.42 gears and 3400 stall gets me around pretty quick.

Mine is a DD but isnt really that special. 98' C5 with a D1SC and exhaust. Car made 449RWHP through an auto with P1SC, have not run it with the new blower yet.
Not to sure what the times are as I have never run the car. Picked the car up in Maryland in July and drove it everyday untill I put it away in December. I even drove it deer hunting.

i put my sts kit at the beginning of last summer wwith a cam, injectors and a fuel pump..im gonna get some new heads and a intake before spring. i drove it daily last year minus when it rains, and i plan to drive it this summer everyday whenever its sunny.
