I will be giving a good attempt very soon. The power is there to get down in the 8's but my car does not like to 60ft at all, so we will see. Im guessing the car is going to run a very very low 9 at 160 something mph.

My weekend kind of went to crap Friday night when a twisted and axle in two at the track. As for random thoughts, I saw RCC's car at LMR a few weeks back when I was having my truck tuned and its badass and very well done. I agree with your 6 speed theory and bigger turbos and then you should try it again with that lambo.

Sometime in june the car will be taken down for a turbo upgrade. Im still on the fence about the trans, I spoke with gforce today about building a 6060 to handle that power, they said it would be iffy. I know the 4l80 can take it for 1/4 and highway runs, but it will not last at the mile.
LOL!

I've got a random thought. I'm a dumbass. I should've gotten my 4 year degree and gotten out and gotten a good job so that maybe by now I could have enough money to have a couple Vettes in the driveway like you guys. Heck, I'd settle for one. Instead, I'm in my seventh year of school working on a doctorate degree that's probably gonna pay half what you guys make...my rant for the day. And if that's not enough, I'm doing clinical affiliations right now, which means I do some ********'s work all day long while he plays "Words with Friends" on his Iphone, and I don't get paid a dime! This is seriously screwed up but I know I did this to myself. You guys are thinking Turbo's and I'm debating on whether I should pop for a full exhaust on my 00 T/A!! What do you guys do for a living?? I want in!!

I dont take it as ******* at all, no need for envy either. I just really enjoy cars and I have been fortunate enough to finally get to build the car I want.

Well since you asked about the weekend, I spent all day Sat and Sun cleaning up and getting the house ready for sale. I never knew how much stuff can compile in a short time. With all the declutter going on I had to put the ZR1 on the trailer and it sits outside right now til I can make some room in my apartment garage to store it for a few months. I keep telling myself this is the last damn time I move, it sux.

i went out with friends and unloaded about 4000 rounds into a riding lawnmower and desktop computer covered in burning road flares and coleman propane tanks with a good dozen different guns. oh and went to a ring dunk in B/CS.

My thoughts today... I really want to build the motor in the Porsche soon, but I also want to do a patio at the house, and my yard does really need to be resodded and a sprinkler system needs to go in. Mainly because I am lazy to go water ever day. Then I need to redo my flower beds because my house looks like I'm the worst home owner in the neighborhood. Bah damn priorities... Guess the Porsche will have to wait till later this summer. At the moment I'm fighting off a tank of bad gas. What I thought was the fuel pump was still just as originally though... Bad gas...
Then I also think a lot that maybe I am getting bored with the Porsche and that it's time for something new, but now that I am a home owner my portion of the salary that can go for a new car is very small compared to what it use to be. I don't hate my car one bit, but I really do want something different now because I need a new territory to dominate in. Maybe a Lambo will be in my future in the next few years, but we will have to see.
