Why watching? I thought you wanted to try your car out on a stickier track.

I would run but I've been beating up on the car to much lately

Are you going to run your car?

Nope, my computer is in Atlanta. Won't get it back until, maybe, next week. It's waiting on a buddy of mine to throw his spark plug wires in the box with the computer ( since one of mine was broken). I'll be putting my roll cage in soon. Hopefully I'll be able to run it again before it gets too hot out.

Why'd you put all the money/time into it if you're not going to beat it up?

Who is the fastest F-Body in SD (1/4)? The quickest I've seen in SD was only a 7.3 in the 1/8th.

Congrats on the new times Aram so when do I get a race with the RX7 on the highway
I was making a jab at NSTY Z not you JD. He made a big deal about his car hauling *** a while back.

I don't think you'd want a 60-up pull on the RX7. That's where it won't break the tires lose.

Don't forget the top end is where the turbo and 3:42's shine the most Make sure you run the giggly juice because a 125mph in the 1/4 isn't going to cut it
