Oh, you live right outside the 2nd entrance to Heritage. I remember one night back in summer I passed you in your truck on washington road. Then we both hauled *** back to Mackinaw. Ha it was pretty fun. I do recall putting a few lengths on that truck of yours though!

Which truck?

If it was the blue one, well...you've got me by about 1000 lbs, 0.4 liters, and 50 hp....if yours was stock.

If it was the black one....it weighs 7600 lbs in daily driven weight....oh, and I never shifted to 5th gear.

Why don't you try the Duramax from a dig??...

And if you REALLY want to play, there's a pretty nasty Buick Grand National sitting in my garage. Don't worry, it's just a V6.

The Dmax, however, hooks in ANY weather

I think the camaro without the spray and the GN would be a good race. The GTO and Dmax would probably be a good one too...especially since I don't have tires on it yet and would probably have trouble getting out of the hole. Is the blue one (w/ a functional rearend of course ) faster than the Dmax yet?

We can definitely get those races off "locally" when the weather warms up

Eh...I'm not sure if the blue one is faster or not? It didn't like to shift into 3rd while spraying. If it would shift well, yes, it would probably be faster.

Add building my 4L60E as one of my winter projects, along with the rear-end...

Hell yeah... that would be fun. We don't have to go more than like a mile to get it done too. Actually, I have quite a few friendly runs lined up with people in Mackinaw. The GTO is supposed to run another GTO and an SRT8 300C. A guy I know has a Supra that he wants to run against the camaro off the spray. I just need to work on getting things buttoned up on the camaro over the winter and getting a 12 bolt or 9 inch under it.

Are you gonna do the tranny rebuild yourself?

I've seen that Supra around the lake... I tried to chase him down one day to get a run out of him... but I couldn't find him. Is it turbocharged?
