At my local track, which is horrible and known to be about 2-3 thenths slower than anywhere else, with bald, bald comp T/As which, after sitting for 3yrs, were hardder than heck. Anyway, enough with excuses, managed a first time of 13.5 @ 106mph. I'll try slicks next time and prob. grenade the 10 bolt.
Oh well, an excuse to install a 12 bolt or 9 inch and nitrous!

The car looks really nice! It's like you see 3rd gens in really nice condition like yours or you see them in really crappy condition. However, I wouldn't want to sit in your drivers seat using the 4 point seatbelt unless I wanted a compressed spine when I got in an accident. The mounts are nearly posted directly down behind the seat. How does that past the tech at the track? Unless you got some type of bar right behind the seats that the seat belts loop around that I can't see in the picture.
