Default *** Some press for my Cartek beast on LsxTV ***

Here's the link to the article , it's also on streetlegaltv.com .
http://www.lsxtv.com/forum/insane-st...s-8s-1347.html

Many thanks to the Cartek crew , RPM Transmissions , STS Turbo , and everyone else who helped me achieve my goal of running 8's in a true street car .

I couldn't have done it without you guys .

Also big thanks to Mufflex performance , TEA , B+B Exhaust headers , Midwest converters and Neverlift/Carroll's Rod n Racecraft .

I recently made some changes to my set up and hope to go a little quicker and faster by the end of the year , I'll be running the car conservatively for the next few months , and just want to enjoy cruising it around on the street hitting as many cruise night and car gatherings as possible , just like I did last year .

I'm still not working full time and my racing budget for the rest of this year is pretty much non-existent , but the car will be set on kill mode towards the later part of this year you can bet on that .

STEALTH, allways love reading stuff about your car mate. Stunning bit of kit!

One question though, what made you gor for a Rear mount over a front mount? other have done the front mount thing (phil did with his C5 and S91).

Great car mate.

Chris.
