I don't know how bad the damage is without pulling the cover and checking everything out. Amanda and I went to a movie tonight, and I drove the Camaro to see if it could handle driving around town. It is clunking and grinding real bad, especially when I make tight turns, especially in reverse, and when I brake. When I was in the burnout box today, my guys said a few times only one tire was spinning, but not all of the time. It isn't a spool, it's an Auburn posi, but if you heard it when you turn, you'd swear it has a spool. If all that is wrong with it is the posi, I'll just replace that and use the money I had set aside for the slipping trans.

I run no clocks so I don't care. No one wants to see my slow *** 12 second car anyway

How you feeling after Saturday night?

The bulbs are fixed

Why would they turn clocks ON for a street racing event?

Matt, if you are on DR's, we used to find that even back in the day you had to get them wet the stock posis are weak and it only takes one dry burnout and hop to break them.

Yeah they are MT drag radials, but it isn't the stock posi. It's an Auburn, but I forget which series it is. Hopefully I can send it back to them and they can do some sort of core exchange for a small charge.
