How much fluid did you have to add at your next stop Mike??

Wouldn't feel bad about not hitting the glas I am sure I couldn't do it if I didn't practice with the car either since the F-body hooks so well.

Sorry Dish was full of ICE, no signal on the night it aired so it didn't tape and finally seen the repeat today. So I am kinda late......
Hey thanks ! I only had 3 quarts in the car and I couldnt believe it even moved but it did. We made it to the gas station and the BMW boys had been there so the girls already knew the directions dumped 2 more into it bought 6 and left the trans fluid was all foamy from the air pumping thru it. Took 2 days to get it to settle down.

Turned, pulled it and expected the car to slide. The abs went crazy and the car hooked I couldnt believe it myself. I have played that over in my head a hundred times. I tried it when we went around the barrels to try it out before the glass and it did the same thing I went into the dirt came out felt the traction control kick and headed for the glass. Man ,I was surprised I guess the big tires, hot day, surface, new rotors and brakes, and suspension the car just hooked. Go out and try it with your's let me know how you fare? I was laughing at myself that the car wouldn't go. The BMW had the same problem his car hooked as well. The two cars without traction control let loose all I can think of. No EXcuses we recovered from 8th to 3rd and its still a long race..lol

The second time I wanted to fish tail it but I hit the gas and it didnt go out Traction came on. I can turn off the traction control and I can fish tail it the torque is awesome.

We had a whole lot of conversations about them, I dont think they think its good TV? They have so much footage they can do pretty much what they like and edit it the way they want can get anyview across with a little snip here and there.

The show is cool and I had a great time. If you all come out you can meet the whole Family. They are pretty cool also. Daughter #2 has a pewter 02 WS6. so I think you all will have a great time. i am trying to get someone from Spike here to cover the event and put it on the website.

thats what I thought (about the editing). I wish I could come so bad, you guys remind me of my family. I live way out here in cali so you know how that goes. my car is close to yours, SOM A4 with nice susp mods, 3500tc hot cam 125 shot of nitrous, sportlines. I love your guys car because it is a true example of what the normal guy could afford. btw think about this, me and my wife live next door to my parents, my dad owns a fully custom 02 GMC ECSB and my mom an 04 GTO, me and my wife have a 01 WS6 and 73 2WD Jimmy thats reciving a 5.3 swap right now, so over here is all about pontiac and GMC hahaha
