Yes, the only car worth racing is Brandon Thacker's car. It is the GOD of ls1's.
He is the man, if you want to be the man, you have to beat the man!!

You will be handed your *** if your go to grudge wars, but all in all you will have a good time. I've been for the past 3-4 years it's a blast. There are a bunch of cars that go down that vary in speed but there will be a couple of really fast stangs down there (Coupe, Wikd, etc). 15 second to 9 second cars. C'mon down you have a blast.

Cheers.

First of all, the only place where I have ever seen a Lunati crank referred to as a "non-twist crank" is in Lunati's catalog. Second of all, its spelled Lunati, not Luniti. Also, in the last few days, you have posted conflicting information, either you're full of crap, or your car has undergone a remarkable transformation in an insanely short time....

Please give me a round about est. of the numbers i will turn out.

Lastly, Tim Lynch has gone 6.96@209 in his "turbo car".
