it was good meeting a bunch of you guys last night. Sorry to anyone that got their lane breeched by the crappy civic last night while "out." I warned everyone that the tq steer was nuts! lol

The MR2's clutch let go really bad after the first run. So he could launch out for 1 gear then it would slip and bounce on the limiter anytime he would get into it. Not to mention he found out that he lost his oil cap when we stopped to get gas. Good night though, perfect weather!!!

See you guys in two weeks.

fun night for sho. Makes sense why the MR2 wasn't pulling as hard, still a fast car tho.

Russyo, can you or your brother post the vids taken from the MR2?

I'll see if he can load them up. Not sure how long they are since he was letting off after only one gear when the clutch would slip.

I'd like to see you guys run a full run though. I think it would be a good run.

See, this is why I decided to get a C6 Z06 over a Gt500. Everytime I see a video of a GT500 racing it's getting raped like a white girl at a rap concert.

LOL, I know I've flip flopped a few times, but my mind is finally made up. I'll either get a Z06 or I won't get anything at all but I am completely done with Mustangs.

not much weight difference. the C5Z was over 3700Lbs with me in the passenger seat. me and the driver is over 500Lbs plus the car has a 408 iron block.

Hit up Texas Hot Rides (www.texashotrides.com) when you start looking for one. They can probably help you find a good one relatively cheap.

I am the vette owner that vic was riding with. I have trickflow 225s, fast 102 and the cam is a 244/248 612 615 on a 112.

Here is my graph and its a little odd, at least to me. It gets up to the 495+ hp at around 115 mph on the graph and stops, just goes straight across pretty much. There was no tricks on the dyno. He was able to get it dialed in with like 6 pulls and stopped. Wanted it to be safe and I dont care about dyno numbers. It beats the cars its supposed to.
