I can tell you this, drag brakes suck for stop and go driving, which is what going up to GLD is for me.

We can race to see who truly is the slowest Turbo LS1 in Chicago. My money is on our car, by a long shot.

I don't know anyone with a spare trailer, if I did we would throw Chris's car on it so he wouldn't worry so much I think Chris I are ready to take on any and all challengers for title of Chitowns slowest turbo LS1.

Well if we all went to RSD we could help each other out.

Sean since I've gone 9.4 I would not be the slowest, but I would be the slowest GT47-88 turbo'd race car which would be true.

We will for sure be at the next RSD with the car, we tried for this past one for Tito but couldn't get parts fast enough. Were running at Byron Saturday (clocks off ) if anyone is gonna be out there come say Hi. We will be in the slow as hell red TA with a black intercooler and no exhaust.

what in the ******* face of the earth would you need a trailer for with a car that is a bone stock 6 speed car other than a turbo kit on it?

I drove my car 60 miles on the highway each way twice last season to GLD and ran 9.80's. grow some nuts


John--I love you, don't be upset.

Ha I was actually asking Silver Ghost, his name also happens to be Sean (or Thawn depending on circumstances).

But I would love to duke it out for the title of slowest turbo ls1!

Because I just have a hunch something is gonna go the way of the Dodo. I have already had my trans rebuilt from the last time I went to the track. And I only ran a 13.3@109 then...
