Dude that blows. Hopefully it's alright! How hot did it get? Do you run mechanical gauges or just rely on the stockers?

If you were smart you would run race tires while trying to race.

Everyone knows that's cheating. The slick spawns a whole person and they get in your car and slam gears and launch for you.

Tell your brother to set it to public for a few, and then do it, and then have him set it back to private or w/e.

LMAO Can't front... thats a solid statement.


Sidenote: I'm glad the only issues I've been having are tiny electrical ones... even though I'm definitely more cut out for mechanical, and I'm having a hard time tracing these electrical issues down... at least its not anything major.

hio refuses to run slicks or even DR's that are too much like slicks. I think he wants to run 10's in street trim. he's obviously just a set of slicks away from 10's now.

The stock gauge said 260*. But it jumped up there real fast and the engine should not have even been completely warm at that point on the drive to work. It didn't feel that hot and as soon as i jumped the pump wire it cooled down and stayed there.

There is for sure no better way to take the guess work outta the launch than to run a slick.

TA is a looker. I'd change that hood though. I like the flared nostril look. LOL

But he runs it in drag trim so not sure why he just doesn't throw slicks on it

Z28 is more of a drag car it seems where TA is more of a street car. So...depends on what you want.

I'd buy the TA probably. It should still runs 10s in that configuration though I'd sell the 12 bolt and go 9".
