Thank you, and congrats again on the new whip Steve! I much appreciate the opportunity! That ZL1 looks GOOD! I had a hard time keeping all the drool off of it, in the few hours it was on the lot. edit: pic coming

:nod: High enough to justify trading in on a GTR DO IT!

TI finally made all the starts "speed indexed" and from the same place. All the cars that did 200+ in the spring were now doing 185-190 because they couldn't start early.

Nope. Still AWD. The fronts and the rears are actually within 1% difference in diameter, so it doesn't mess up the All Wheel Drive system. But the rears are much wider with much more sidewall to increase traction, as most of the power is still delivered to the rear.

Underground Racing finally went down. :fuckyeah:

Not what I wanted to hear. You know what Chad was trapping?

:fuuuu: Well if tech has gotten tighter, I wonder if I should make the trip myself. I'm totally fine with getting the boot if I crack a 9.9.... But if I get tossed out for a low 10 I'll be much disappoint.

Really? I usually get teched by a guy in a wheelchair. While he does look at my helmet, he barely even glances at my car.

Touché

Thanks guys! The write up was actually about the Shootout itself. So aside from mentioning my second place finishes, they don't actually talk about the car.

Count me in. Spot you half a track? :gabe:

:lolguy: I'm pretty sure it's a Cobalt fellas http://www.cleanmpg.com/photos/data/500/GTR-cobalt-ss.jpg

So I get a call from a buddy yesterday, telling me that there was a nice pic of my car in DSport magazine. When he sent me the pic and I seen it was a huge 2 page picture, I couldn't believe it! I know it's not really that big a deal, but I thought it was cool as hell. Finally got my hands on the actual magazine tonight (Thanks Bill!) so I scanned the pages. Not sure if anyone here reads the mag, but I figured I would share anyways. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii37/jordancampbell2008/shootoutfull_zps4b400a1b.jpg

I will probably have an opening day buy limit order open.. although I don't expect it to execute.

Played this game at my brother's house last night. I'm glad I didn't buy it. I thought the graphics look previous gen... the story was meh... and the gameplay didn't do much for me. Last of Us Remastered may have ruined me, as that game was brilliant IMO. If you PS4 guys have not downloaded "P.T." yet... DO IT. Be prepared to have to search for the walk though. It has me excited about the new Silent Hill

Not sticking up for the douche (as his car will NEVER make 2000whp)... but there are a couple UGR 2Rs that only make 1200ish on pump gas then 1600 on C16 and close to 2000 on VP import.

Thanks again for making the trip to deal with me Jeff! I'm glad she likes the new ride, and hope you guys get ahold of me for anything you need in the future :thumbup:

1320 Video makes money by getting views.... so when they can have a Super underdog win, they post the video and don't tell the whole story. It's all about ad revenue generation. It's no different than the video of the MR2 beating the Blackbird GTR. The Blackbird GTR mopped the floor with that car... UNTIL he had a boost leak from a quarter sized whole in a charge pipe coupler. The vid at the top of this thread is the same kind of thing. A Turbo and sprayed V6 stang got a couple cheap wins when the GTR had issues. When the GTR didnt have issues this is what happened: Same Stang getting walked again:

Oct 19th is indeed a Sunday. If that's the case, I would be in. :thumbup:

On a side note I watched a GTR run 8.2 @ 179 with no cage at Norwalk a couple weeks ago, lol. Now that might be a little on the crazy side.

I really think it depends on the car, and the cars main purpose. I'm running 10.1 @ 137 right now, and even when I dip into the 9s I'm not going to cage it. I drive the car on the street all the time, and frequently have my kids in it. To me, a 9.99 cage on the street is more dangerous than the few 9.x @ 14x passes I will click off 2 or 3 days a year uncaged (in this car). But this is an AWD car with 6 air bags. If I had a 9 second fox body... it just wouldn't be a street car, and I would have an appropriate cage. My Cobra trapped 130 (didn't ET for shit though) and it didn't feel "safe" to me going down the track. Losing traction at half track or beyond, with RWD car, built to OLD NHTSA safety specs can turn ugly real quick.

Not sure how I missed this before. Mid October cool air, and lax tech sounds like a winner to me. If they prep the track, everyone can come set new personal best ETs. You know I'm in

You are an absolute animal when it comes to tossing together and tuning 4Gs. Good job bro!

Sorry for your loss Bill
