I just hope my car doesn't fall apart while going down the track. I have a feeling I'll lose some body panels from the quality collision resotration the previous owner so kindly performed.

Nice of you to come out of your cave you've been hiding in Dave...

And that sucks.... I'm sure it will hold up fine though.

So when do you plan on having it out on the streets??

I think for James he needs real stickies before anything else....... suspesnion means nothing if you are spinning for five seconds and the best suspension it the world will not keep your from spinning if your tires are not that gteat... IE Nitto's.

I'm getting some Mickey's in 2 weeks man! Not the 15's or 16's that I want but I found a nice set of 18" c6 Vette wheels with MT's on them for a good deal and I can't pass them up. This way I'll have some flashy wheels and still have MORE grip when I decide to mash it. They'll hook good enough with the 18's not to tear up the rearend. (I hope) And then when I get the rearend, I'll get the 15" MT's on Prostars and go from there.

Have any of the cars you've owned been able to spin the tires?

If that's the case.. I'm so glad your Vette will be behind me.

That was funny the first time you said it like 5 years ago

James, sounds like a good deal for now untill the upgrades come

Captain InsaneO

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that within 5 years you might have gotten something that has some power.

I should be more specific, and I apologize for failing to do so... but was this in wet, or dry pavement?

Ask around about the 83.......

Nittos work pretty good from 50 to the speed limit I think. They are working better then my m/t's on the street.

Anyone else besides Purdue making some good power this year? Im kind of out of the loop.

I don't make good power, I just have stunning good lucks that make my look fast and a loud exhaust that makes the car sound like it's got good power.

It did feel fantastic on the dyno yesterday and pulling it on and off the trailer.

It still needs some work before it hits the SS.

Slobra

Ben, whats left to do? Sounds like it's coming together really well.

Mine is still sitting on stands with no gas tank or fuel lines ran yet

I need to get longer torque arm bolts for the rear end, verify pinion angle on an alignment lift, change the fluid in the axle, figure whats going on with my bottle heater, and bleed the clutch a little more.

I can knock them all out in 1 day. I am just glad I have the car running before June this year.

OMG....The great Captain InsaneO posted in this thread.....I'm so happy to be posting in the same thread as him......




Ghey.

Slobra

Sounds good , Ben.

I've been out of commisoin most of the winter with a hernia in my stomack, so it's been slow on the car progress. Had my operation last week so I hope to get on it next weekend. Carlos is sumping my tank this week and I have everything else I need to start. Should be complete with the fuel system, then get her tuned and ready by the end of April. I HOPE!

i don't understand why you're so worried about the stock rear. automatic cars have no problem getting off the line without breaking stuff. i made i don't know how many 1.60-1.62 60' launches and the car was fine. granted i didn't let it wheelhop and one dem fancy covers. however, i don't think those 18" wheels have a snowball's chance in hell of hooking up, no matter what tire you're on.

LT1Formula007

I feel you on the 18's. I rode around on them the other day and they hook alot better than the 18" nitto555 street tires I have on there now. I am so worried about the rearend b/c it's already making a lil bit of noise and it seems like the 1 thing I ALWAYS break is Rearends. I have gone through 3 in the firebird and I'm not making anywhere near the power I am in the z. But who knows I may be luckier this year ???? As far as the MT's go, it was around 50* the other night and from a DIG it blew the MT's off til I hit 3rd. But I think if I baby it off the line it will grab enough to do a lil better. But then again I know 18's have to stiff of a sidewall to grab. At this point I don't know what to do! We'll see what happens.

James

BTW) Thanks for your oppinions I may consider them. I'd hate to buy 2 sets of wheels when I can do it right the first time you know!
