Bob - nice numbers on that car. I was reading the other post and couldn't link to your site. If you need a temporary host or more reliable hosting, I am willing to help. I hope
that nothing happened and no information was lost. Lots of work and then the server crashes or the site gets hacked and all the data, pics, html work is gone. Let me know if
I can help with either hosting or design. Take care...

Thanks John. The company that hosts my website has changed servers for me several times. I have a lot more material on my website than most websites do. A lot of the project cars have 50 or so pic's, and we get a lot of traffic from it. I'll keep you in mind. Thanks. Bob

The company that hosts my website has increased my server several times, but as I add more project cars the amount of hits on the website goes up dramatically. It doesn't surprise me that it was down after the CTS-V and the STS projects were completed. Hopefully it won't happen again for some time... Bob

You're welcome. If a hosting server is set up correctly, it will actually send the Administrator a notice, via e-mail, when the bandwidth has reached 70, 80, and 90% of it's limit. A monthly analysis of the hosted site also helps in determining usage and limits. If done, an analysis can help forsee the growth and then the BW limit is set 20-30% above the previous months usage. Just trying to help where I can.

Numbers look very nice, and the quality of work certainly shines through.
I was wondering if you were able to fit subframe connectors with the STS install, and if so, which ones?

Thanks! No we didn't try, but now we are going to end up putting a cage in it. Bob

This car is one really impresses us! We took Scotts SS to US 131 in Michigan. With the boost on the low 6lb to 7lb setting, and 14 psi of tire pressure in the M/T Drag Radials, this car was severely traction plagued!
This car would of been in the 10's with a couple more passes, but they kicked us off the track for not having a rollcage... Bob

3:73's, but we're thinking that 3:42's might be more beneficial. However, we may be jumping up to a 28" tall tire on this Camaro to aid in traction, which will kill some gear. I run 28 x 12.5 M/T ET's on my own Z28, and they hook a lot better than these 26 x 17 M/T drag radials do. This car would really hook much better with a 15" rim size, and in a 28" tall tire. Bob

Hey Bob I saw you guys at U.S. 131 Speedway. I was in the silver Trans Am that was parked next to you. The camaro moved pretty good down the track, congrats.

Btw, I ended up running a 13.3@104mph with just a lid/cutout.
