Yeah that was me! I was leaving the sprint store in there. (Had to make sure you saw me and not a wannabe with my paint job)

If I remember correctly, I hopped on it a little when I pulled onto Hall road because traffic was barrelling at me like a mofo? :burnrubber0:

WOW, very nice.

Ooo ok nice, looks stock

No its steel. There is vent duct insulation in the inside with the foil from the insulation.

I usually dont like fat stripes... Yours work nice tho

Hall road near van dyde? I remember a silver gp went at it with me.

yup yup, that was him. He told me he raced a crazy fast gp. I asked what it looked like, he said red with white stripes, I was like uhhh :facepalm: haha

So here's all the stuff I've done over the winter. I've been preparing for the 2011 race season, and Hopefully I can pull a mid- low 12 on a 2.8 pulley with pump gas and a low 12-high 11 on e85. READY TO MASH OUT!

Full performance mods list is everything mentioned plus:

VS cam, 90#Valve springs, XS headers, exhaust, TEP Trans, Alternator rewire, Ported gen 3 blower, Solid Motor mounts, Big cone intake, 3.3/3.1/2.8 modular pullies

i dont see you running low 12s, just sayin.

my friend with a 2.6 pulley ran a 12.1 and ran low 12's most of the time and he is tweaking and tuning nonstop, saying that i think you will probably run middle to high twelves.

still a nice build tho

:(...Why you say dis to me.

It should actually be pretty easy on slicks and e85. If a 4 size pulley drop, intercooler, great tune, e85, ls1tb, and slicks as compared to bald all-seasons can't net me at least 1 second then I'm modding the wrong vehicle. I was a 13.2 on a 3.3 pulley without all the crap I just mentioned

Car looks great, usually not a big fan of stripes on these, but it actually doesn't look bad this way. However, I think you should blacken the bottom/mid section of the bumper because it all being red looks funny to me since the back bumper is still the dark grey.... just my 2 pennies

Also notice the picture.... your convo on tires and racing got me to notice... are your fronts running rotation backwards? usually that design would run the other direction, after all in the rain the way it is now would pull water to the middle of the tire and cause hydro-planing, not push it out away from the tire to keep traction.... correct me if im wrong tho, just curious
