Stopsign likes to kid around and feed the trolls. But he does know his **** when its time to be serious.
Irun11s is usually right on the money. Who cares what he drives.
Notch please do something with your 8.8 before running a tire on it. Run a used girdle and weld those tubes up!! Hide HIO's LS7 till late next year and I will give you a girdle to use.

Irun11's can't find his *** with both hands and is stuck in the 14's
If all goes well at MIR tomorrow I may go ahead and put the ls7 in....just so I know where it is...lol

See how it works when cooler heads are involved? I fixed it for ya...
Sorry i forgot to mention axles that will still be c clipped and factory 28 splined for now. And 33 after i do a blower without c clips. And thats it no welded tubes no heavy bracing bs. And I have no plans on a cage because im 6'5 and cant get in and out with them very well so no it wont be legal passes mr. im writing a book. But thats what track rentals are for. The axles will be stock demensions but not stock grade steel. Did you also run for president in 2000 cuz u did everything else that year? lol
Okay then... 28 spline axles FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!Good luck with that, sportsfan... You'll be sitting back watching again, in no time.
You're 6'5"??? I didn't know they STACKED **** that high! No roll cage... No c-clip eliminators for now... not even upgraded axles... After all, you're ONLY shooting for 10.80's and ANYONE can do that with ZERO safety mods... If your car runs even close to the ET's your hoping for, you'll be kicked off the track immediately...
Then there's the whole track rental idea... YOUR BROKE *** can't even afford AXLES... How you gonna rent a race track?
You ARE the epitome(that means you fit exactly) of CLUELESS TRASH TALKER!
As for my "book".... Maybe if you READ one once in awhile you wouldn't have so much trouble saying what you're thinking!
Yeah, and forget about all those people who call "rappers" bad names for their lack of intellect while we're at it... heh Nice!

I might like that at least as much as the LS1 version. Friend of mine ordered an 01 (10th Anniversary) and honestly... I wasn't very impressed, even when he added the twin intercooled Procharger... I should add, LS1 edit wasn't available for it yet, so... 
It looked WONDERFUL, but then, I have a bias toward T/A's anyway.

For awhile I wanted to get a 98-02 WS6 after I sold my 97 WS6. Sadly, most people want $10k+ for a clean 98-02 WS6 with reasonable mileage. The fact of the matter is that I refuse to pay $10+k for an FBODY
If I'm going to drop that much money on an Fbody, might as well shell out a bit of extra coin for an earlier model C5

I agree with your sarcasm. The WS6 was a huge sales plot that in reality barely increased performance. I just like the looks of them in comparison. My buddy with a regular 96 Trans Am (A4, cloth, catback, 2.73 gear) and I raced with the same mods and my stock 3.23 gear and I barely pulled him. (Both on Sumi's)

It's not about what you want or someone else is doing... If you plan to drag race, you're bound by the rules, just like everyone else on the track. Your personal safety is only part of the concern... The safety of OTHERS is also involved, thus, rules to follow.

I never said I planed to competition race the car. I know the rules but they dont apply during track rental. And there are 4 tracks close to me I will get 1 run at each worst case. And if I want to run it more I will rent the track 1 time a year. I will do more street than track racing.

Why not just build it to meet NHRA rules and romp on it as much as you want?
