Mehhh, not really but sometimes. My 3 best friends drive a bolt on Z28 with a Th400 and 150 shot, C5 Z06 with H/C and bot ons, and a 99 Cobra with bolts ons. There are some fast imports and a KB Cobra that run around as well....

The guy Colton was talking about with the quick z28 (Justin), might be bringing a friend who will definitely tape the runs for us. He's good with computers too so he could probably put together a compilation video as well.

Can't wait to make my first run Sat.

Chandler sounds much better to me also, just gotta wait a bit longer. No money or time to fix anything right now so I'm trying to take it easier on her right now.

Well I did get SOMETHING accomplished today, a fresh wax I used Meguires Ultimate Compound, Polish, and Liquid Wax. Also the hood is a different shade of black then the rest of the car, is that because its carbon fiber from the factory? And yes, my motorcycle stays on the back porch as the girlfriend has a tendency to run into it when its parked in the driveway





















And whats a good waxing without the BAD that I just found on my car that I never noticed before I bought it

I talked to the dealer I got it from about fixing it because we both missed it but it is a problem now. They said to send them pics and they will see what they can do to fix/replace the bumper. If they replace or not I'm probably going to put the tigershark rear bumper or something similar with a raised lip on it. Do you do bodywork or paint?

Nice. Bummer for finding that though.

My run sucked - 16 sec 60 mph. My belt came off somewhere down the track and I couldn't shift out of 4th gear so I gave up on the run.

I ran Austins SS. The tires wouldn't hook up for me and so I got a 14.2 sec.

Sure was. The tires didnt seem to have a problem till after the 60'. I hope it was because they were literally new tires instead of the tires themselves (Riken Raptors ZR).

Those Raptor tires are crap. If you try to do a burnout they will just get really slimy.
