Me too...

I'm not a suspension guru, but from an engineering background it would seem that if the car didn't leave ON the bumper and instead channeled that energy in moving forward, instead of UP... the car would go faster...

But, that's just me using my brain again... No pun intended.

Nice car.

 

Lee,

Don did tune it. Joe meant Greg tuned the heads up. You know Joe sticks his foot in the mouth.

The car has to pick the wheels up some. We have gone back and forth and with the car not pulling the wheels the 60ft is like a 1.40ish and it is almost a .10 slower.

Car hits the wheelie bars it runs a 1.29 and is faster. Don can't explain it and neither can the clutch guys. The car just like to see air

Who cares how perfect it runs, all I know is not to many people can
claim this >>> "Quickest NA M6"

 

I would say only one right?

 

That would be correct and I can say it isn't me

 

Well, then you know what that means.... keep that front up towards the sky.

And again, very impressive car...

 

Who knows, some people haha

 

What exactly does face plating do?

 

Then you're talking about Joe and Amber's car and you'll have to best his times to take the title.

 

cause it doesnt have all 6 gears in it

im just kidding, it seems like people try to make their own records anymore. its a T-56, who cares what clutch you have, or what shifter you have, its till the fasted 6 speed f-body.

btw, i want to see some more incar runs of Joe rowing gears

 

Is the car still together? I heard it lost a rod a while ago.

 

Yes, we made some shake down passes tonight. Were only to the 330ft mark though. Man the track was packed tonight last night of the year. Local track is closed until Jan 11th.

 

have you broken 10,000 rpm yet?

 

10,000 rpm that's buzzin.

 

No, but I do have some 9900rpm Bigstuff3 logs from a while ago.

 

I was the quickest NA M6 on the third tuesday of november on main st at 9 with a mcleod single disk and black ZR1's with sumitomos and a passenger.....car.....once....that one time

????

 

going to need a video of that one!

 

The video is on the forums somewhere. I posted it. Title is something like 9800rpms of fun?

Thanks,
Amber

 

You don't have valve float at that rpm? Are you running titanium valves and retainers?
