I saw the same car at taco johns in newton. I think the car belongs to lauderbachs boy, along with 2 acura nsx's. At least it looked just like him.

Sounds like he likes overpriced junk. Next time you see him, remind him not to use launch control.

Nope, I "heard" there was running around & that he gave 10k over sticker for it.

I have a Vig 3600. I don't think you can go wrong either way, I've had both brands & like them both.

I can respect the engineering in the GTR, but Lord is it ugly.

I'm ready to go racing in Cordova on Saturday...

The only thing left is to make my purge discharge & go out to test it.

NOS 78mm plate, NX solenoids, purge kit & bottle heater, Dave's window switch, 860 spare tire mount & thanks to HSW for some slick looking black lines.

Hey Benji, I was up in Ames monday looking for apartments with my GirlFriend. I was heading west on lincoln way, and saw the black firehawk go the otherway. Also while I was out and about, I saw a silver Z28 with black hockey stripes down the sides... any idea as to whose that might be?

I think we'd all be pretty close. If I get beat by either of you, I'm spraying the next time.

So Scott supercharged the stand huh? Didn't take him long to mess with that thing.

On another note. What would cause the clutch peddle to go to the floor and stay there not allowing the car into gear? My Dad's 98 SS is having some issues. I am guessing something Hydraulic related. Any places I should start looking? Between his car doing this, and my car lacking a 3rd gear, we aren't having too much luck with these *******.

Slave cylinder maybe. Whats the fluid look like that comes out of it? Had problem with a guys gto here in down with that, the fluid was completely black, drained it, ran a bottle of fluid til it was clean and has seemed to fix the problem.

Yeah its definately something to do with the hydraulics, like austin said check the slave first and go from there.

I didn't see you at Eddyville this year Unstang! Kook (Aaron) and I just finished putting methanol injection into the car and got tuned in Cedar Rapids. If any Ames guys wanna go mess around somewhere this week I'm game. Need to get my fun in before she gets put away for winter.
