And who wants to pick on me.... DocGTO!!! Had a great time but Man do I need some better tires and some seat time! Doc can drive the $hit out of a car, I think his best that day was 10.97. This was my best run of the day but my tuner drove it and ran an 11.21. Everyone was having trouble getting off the line and I heard the DA was up around 3600.

Great picture of you and your car on the track - nice resolution!
Videos were of good quality also, I don't see that too often.

Yeap, me and a few others are having problems launching this baby without spinning in place (stock!)
IMHO this car is 800 lbs too heavy....basically having four 200 lbs individuals riding in the car.
Still, I would not trade it for anything else.

Where did you get your wheels that are in your signature pic?

Size?

Cost?

Nice vids and pics,love that one with the backround blurred. With that MPH you could be high nines' with the right tires and suspension setup. Must be a handful on the street. Congratulations !

Not my car but I know he's got 20" True Forged Chicanes on it.

My biggest problem is every time I go home, I've added more mods and have to learn to drive the car all over again. I wanted to get some runs in before I put the slicks, shocks, gears and race tune in. All my passes where on 275/40-17 ET Streets, stock shock, stock gear, street tune and 93.

They are 3pc True Forged Chicanes.
20x9 with Nitto 555 255/35-20 and 20x10.5 with Nitto 555 285/30-20
The cost depends on what you order. All their wheels are custom built to your spec. Mine are the first set they built for a GT500 and they fit perfect. They are even using my wheel with the model on their site.

Bird,

The car is very easy to drive on the street. Not much different than stock until half throttle, Then hold on!! My wife still drives the car and loves it. We drove 500 miles one way to Tenn., played on the mountain roads and drove back. About 1300-1400 miles total. It was great. I even drove it to the track, 100 miles one way, ran it and drove home. IMO, it a perfect set up and Kenne Bell did an outstanding job. I did tweek the tune a bit, it was a little lean and needed a little more timing. I don't believe in canned tunes, each car reacts different to mods.

Jim
