Default My trans am vs Roush stage 3 and 03 cobra***With VIDEO

Went out for some runs last night. Cobra race was kinda a SNAFU. I started in 2nd in a poo poo spot and spun a bit and let off early due to some traffic just as i was starting to pull. He had to leave so we didn't get a second try. Race against the Roush was clean. Also ran my friend's big cam (242/244 vindicator) Z28 and pulled ~4 cars and it wasnt caught on camera. Both camera people from last night are fired lol. Then to top it all off my car went home on a flatbed, pretty sure the T-stat took a dump. I got it off zee highway in the middle of the hood and when the truck finally showed up, Mader from the movie cars was the driver. We had to rip out a piece of sidewalk in order to get my car on the bed without scraping. What a nightmare, but all in all i am happy with the way the car performed, but i do want to step it up to some 4.11's or 4.30's. Also considering going with a patG cam speced to these heads.

I love the way the Roush's look, but I figured from the start that it was gonna be a one sided race, lol. Sucks about your car breaking, good luck fixing it up.

What are you doing between shifts? Eating or getting something to drink?

I hear you, keep the rain down on your side of the line.
