10.77 and drove home at the end of the day, no gutted race car, full interior.

93 octane too?

Scott has ATI twin intercoolers, I prefer an FMIC over anyday.

wish my car went 10s first run at the track first run with the turbos.

Damn I forgot you were stick, that's some good driving first time out. I bet once you have more passes under your belt you will pick up 5-6 mph too.

Holy Crap....tough crowd here.

Car looked and sounded (besides the slight blower whine) like a low 13 second TA. Full weight (more than full weight actually), pristine car, Nitto DRs and street rims all around, low boost, and first pass on a new combo in "OK" weather goes 10.77 at 129 and that's a big disappointment?

10.56 @ 133.82

Sorry my friend's wife didn't get more of your car in the vid. If she doesn't know the car owner, she tends not to film it much during the pass. We're still training her.

BTW, I don't want any part of you when you're on a real tire with more boost.

I guess it's hard to show on the internet, but anybody who saw your car in person would be impressed. I know I was. When I get a chance I'll check the camcorder and see if she got any of your other passes on tape. If I still had my WS6, I would have been asking you ALOT of questions about your combo at the track Saturday.

The Speed Inc. lanes at Byron contained quite a few impressive f-body's this weekend, including yours.

Thank you for the compliments, I love the car, but cannot take credit for it aside from paying the bill as all the work was done by speed. If you do happen to find any more footage that would be greatly appreciated as my son and wife couldnt make it due to my son testing for his brown belt (yes I should have been there I know)

Nothing real recent or real high quality cause I suck at picture taking but here are a few. Not much in the looks dept. especially compared to some of the cars on this site.
