I've rocked S10 and Rangers in the past... the winter was a bitch... I never could get enough weight in the back. Never had any major issues with any of them though. IIRC

With all the speculation going on on the boards and locally concerning what my car will do at the track, the wait is finally over.
Mods:
-M/T et streets 305/35/19" on stock ZR1 19x10" (front) wheels rear
-Attack Blue reusable Filter
Conditions were:
around 62°F, +221ft DA
Track is about 30ft above sea level
Best pass:
60'.......1.615
330'.....4.573
1/8......7.004
Mph....100.55
1000....9.108
1/4......10.875
Mph....131.46
2nd best:
60'.......1.605
330'.....4.569
1/8......7.003
Mph....100.25
1000....9.111
1/4......10.881
Mph....131.18
The first two passes the car bogged on the launch resulting in a 11.16@129.89 and 11.09@129.91. The clutch began acting up after the second 10.8 run so on my 5th pass at about the 330' mark I coasted and called it a night. Let the car cool down a bit before the trip home and clutch seems OK for now.
My very next mod will be a stronger clutch!
EDIT: Also let me add the blower was iced down before runs.

My Las Vegas client just told me they want to extend my contract to the end of the year again. What started off as a 3 month contract has been 3 years and 1 month so far.

My last beater DD was a Saturn. LoL, I would have to add a quart of oil every time I filled up the gas tank. I kept a case of cheap oil in the trunk.

For real though nice going for first time to track with it. And even on a tire not bad. Sucks about the clutch. But its part of racing. And least you took to the track to run it.
