Quit being a Pu$$y and throw a Detroit Locker in there. LOL
It's a "Racecar" not a Daily Driven Honda. It's not supposed to be QUIET! It's just supposed to NOT BREAK!

But seriously, I will know for sure here soon just how noisy the Detroit Locker is man, I have my MWC Fab 9 on order now. If you want to ride in the car once it's running, lmk. That way if it's not too loud for your liking, then you can get 1 too. If it's not what you want, Then no harm done!
But at least, you'll know what to expect. From what I hear, it kinda sounds like a ratcheting sound (like a ratchet wrench), But IDK.

Anybody going out tonight?? I'll be out til about 1 or 2 am.
Supposed to be a few guys coming out tonight. Hoping to see some fun things unfold,

I like to hear opinions on differentials.. but I was told when I bought the 9" that the differential would handle what I was doing with the car..and the first pass on the good tune it breaks!

Everyone told me that my 12 bolt wouldn't hold what my Camaro was making but it held up to my power and is in another car and still taking a beating.

TrueTrac would be a good choice for Drag Racing! Where did u here that they are not? Or are u talking about a OEM TrackLoc? What did u break in ur 9 inch?

LMAO... My friend from a few years ago did that 1 night. He bought a Crown Vic from an auction, still had the spot light and strobes in it haha. And he rode around 31 all night riding peoples asses and EVERYONE was going like 5 undewr the speed limit, we pulled off and they took off lol. We also sat in parking lots at the ends of the tunnels and when people would come flying out of them, we flew out, rode their asses, and then got next to them and rolled the windows down. lmao!
Good Times!

I agree, I'd be shitty if my car broke a differential that I was told will hold. If I break the Locker, I'm saying F-It and putting a spool in it bro. Thats just how I feel.
I Shouldn't be able to break a spool I don't think. BUT who knows. When you race, **** happens you know. It just sucks when it does.

*On a serious note, I'm gonna try to have the camaro running in 2 weeks. But I'll be waiting to put the 9 inch in tho! I have a guy who is pretty serious about wanting to buy it. If he does, I won't be out doing much *** kicking this year. But, If not I'll be ready for racing season in a month.

lol, Yeah it was a good night that's for sure.
130 Fly-By was NUTZ... But damnit your car runs HARD! I can't believe how well that things runs man. It pulls even harder up top than it does down low.
Good Way to hang with the Z06. BTW I got 1 Video of you actually putting a car on the Z06 thru the walls. I don't know if he was in the wrong gear or what, But a win is a win. lol
Usually he gets you by a car to a car and a half max. But damn that was a good run. Well Actually that was before you had it re-tuned also.
Either way- Good Runs. I'll post videos on my F-Quick tonight man!

No He's SERIOUS about buying my 98 Z! He offered me ALOT of $ already (CASH in Hand), But I didn't want to let it go for the price he offered me. So I countered with a higher price, and he said Get it running and we'll talk. Needless to say the price I told him was More than enough to make me Sell it.
Lets all say a small prayer at dinner tonight. lol
I want to sell it sooo bad now hahaha!
I'm already planning my new build.

I gotta see this... Thats prolly gonna be the closest race of the year. Between 3 equally matched cars.

And then, you'll see Sea Biscuit coming around the outside.... LOL!
Of coarse we all know who does the Ricer Fly-By in the White Z from time to time. hahaha

BTW Videos are up on my F-Quick for those of you who wanted to see them.
Harbaugh has a Special little video he wanted to show to Travis... j/k
It's 1 of his car on street tires playing around a little bit. And another 1 of him and a Z06!
