Reminds me of the time I was working at the Kennedale and Billy from TRT was just starting into the rear turbo non-sense. He took his 6 speed SOM Formula out there and ran some pretty impressive 8.9's @ 88 mph with NO WHEEL SPIN and the most impressive turbo lag that i've seen since racing Supras on Gran Turismo. It was the **** boy, I Tell ya what!

Well nice car man, its funny how other members can hate on a setup without even seeing the car first. My advice to you in the future is just let your car do the talking, because this board has the fastest bench racers in the world

Congrats on your car man, I'am sure it's your first and your very proud of it and you should be. Don't let some of these PEOPLE ruin your day. You'll come to find out that some people on here are or can be ***'s (cough v6bird cough) 
but that is the way he is even though he Doesn't try to be it just comes naturally for him. 
You'll either learn to love him or hate him like we all have. Once again congrats on your car.
