I know this has gotten WAY out of hand, and I was reading along for laughs, but post #60 takes the cake! ....I'll put on a bigger rear bar, because my friend and I race on a deserted 4 laner, and run it up to 150, and I need more stability....
NO front bar, and a bigger rear bar. Obviously, a candidate for a Darwin award!
And HE thinks that WE'RE the stupid ones????? Kaleb, I hope you have a LOT of life insurance, and a LOT MORE liability insurance!!

i used to disconnect the sway bar at the track then reconnect it before i left the track.
Having your sway bar connected is not costing you as much as you think it is
look at changing your set-up.

I agree. Remove the LCAs, torque arm, and panhard rod. This gives the rearend plenty of room to articulate and rotate resulting in 1.4 60 fts.

Actually that happened because he used the wrong lug nuts. They were really close in size and they actually torqued to 100 ft lbs but there were just different enough that they all came loose.

This thread is so damn funny....op you win the Darwin award...I even like how when you click on 1997 pontiac firebird next to his name his mods are different then his sig.....either way if he does own a trans am he isn't hitting 150 with the supposed 3.90 gears he says he has in his sig with an a4 unless he is revving it out pretty good...but then again the only thing fast the op has is his imagination so we better quit picking on him.....
