Nice kill, but was it an 04 (title of thread) or 05 (text of post)? Makes a bit of a difference.

That said, him not being able to drive will turn a car into three cars very easily. Nice.

Nice. Makes sense. My dad has an M6 2004 GTO and his best time ET is a 13.7 at 104, I believe. Wheel hop is a big issue with the car, but that obviously doesn't make a difference from a roll. It sounds like even if he could drive, you still would have pulled him a bit.

A couple hundred pounds, minor mods, and the !driver mod on the other guy goes a long way on the street AND at the track.

Thanks. As a passenger in a new VW GTI said to me once before I obliterated him, "It's got a few goodies."

Yeah, that's one thing the moderators on here don't seem to always understand: the fact that we come on here to talk cars because we enjoy it, not strictly to get factual information and then leave. But that's a whole other can of worms that we won't get into. Just don't post anything that isn't a proven fact or has already taken place or it will get shut down, even if it's just to make conversation.

Well the reason I said that is....Camarokid is a buddy of mine, and he's just getting to know how to use forums and what not....
