Had a surprise run with a beautiful green 13/14 Coyote 5.0 last Sat night. We did a 40-110 with him just taking off with no honks but I was ready so he got a nose off the bat. By 110 I had approx 2 cars on him. I was surprised that he was as strong as he was. From the sound he had exhaust...
Well,
It has been a DRY race season since I bought my car. I mean NO races worth a damn to post. Until today!
I was literally MMOB when a black 03/04 Cobra vert rolls up next to me and by the time I look over to recognize it, he dumps it and pulls on me! LOL Yes, I was :sleeping: so...
First off I can't get any races with the GTO anymore. To well known where I live plus it sounds like a pro-stock under any decent throttle LOL . . .
I took the wife out in the 911S last night to get some dinner. On the way home I see a current 1st gen GT500 (white w/ red stripes) 2 cars...
As the title states, looking for a complete 3rd member rear diff. I don't need axles, just the complete pumkin, ready to drop in. Send me an email if you have one at a fair price. Ready to buy!

We went to the track for some shakedown runs and test out the new setup. We are still dialing in tires, suspension, ect.
First run out the box produced this:
60ft:___1.55
330:___4.31
1/8th___6.601
mph:___107.40
1000:___8.58
1/4:____10.260
mph:___134.00
This was blower only with...
Needless to say, the guy in the race car with big wing and parachute was surprised to see this street car on his a$$!!!
Oh, and I weighed my car today with 2/3rd tank of fuel, full nitrous bottle, and me in it. 4040lbs . . . Damn . . . I really thought I was lighter :shrug:

I bet you though I got a Termi, huh?
Well, not so, but I think it's cool and will do well on the road courses when I go to instruct and get some track time!
Specs: 1987 Porsche 928S4 with 83K miles, all records, and just 2 owners. Has Bilstein coil-over suspension, big GTS...
Got a few runs in at the GTO vs. Stang event.
Best run stats:
60ft________1.638
330ft_______4.443
1/8th_______6.751
mph________106.29
1000ft______8.745
1/4_________10.423
mph________134.40
Other runs yielded 10.43 and 10.51 (spun a little).
Here's the video. Not the best...
Well . . . A "Beat the Heat" police drag car. To be specific, a 1957 Chevy with a big block, blower, ect that runs 9.60s-9.80s.
For fun, I left right after the 2nd amber (-.136 red) to break the "law" and get out on him but with his high 1.4 60ft he caught up quick. He killed my 10.48 with...
Went for one last T&T before the GTO vs. Stang event to dial in the new tires and play around with the nitrous activation. Other then that, all other things are the same as my 10.55 run. We still have a slight stumble when the spray activates as you can hear in the video. Oh, and if you don't...
So I got to make a few shakedown runs on the spray last night. Needless to say, I should have went with my gut instinct to put in a fresh tank of spray but will get to that later.
I made 4 runs on spray. 2 with the old bottle and 2 with the fresh bottle and a lower activation point.
The...

My motor is in and my famous LS1 "Touched by the hands of God" has to go to a new home. It has had Mobile 1 in in since day 1 and has been maintained to the highest standard ever since. I guess it's my OCD . . .
This motor comes with a Futural Motorsports F10 Cam (228 / .576 on a...
Went to the strip Sat night with hopes of breaking my old record. Weather was great but we did have a few Open Comp cars break so they had to shut the track a few times. I got 2 runs in before I had to head home.
First one out was the capper!!!

I'm getting another daily driver and the CVPI would have to go. If I had more garage space I would keep it because it is one cool car to drive! I bought it with 70,200 miles and it has 76,000 now and it has had 2 oil changes and a tranny and rear diff flush (Royal Purple) in that time.

Here is in-car footage from my buddies car. The prep sucked and air was worse (well over 2000ft DA) but still fun none the less. This is what it looks like when a mid 12 sec car runs a high 10/low 11 sec car. I'm in the left lane - keep your eye out...
Well, after last nights C5 Z06 race I've really been aching for a new Z06 to see how my car fares but most of the new Z06 owners will not race, or at least the ones I've come into contact with. Today it all changed . . .
I was going to a buddies house when I see a black C6 Z06 at the...
We have rented Bradenton dragway for Friday night. Gates open at 5pm and racing is 6-11pm. All you can run!!! It is called "No-Frills" and it is for street legal cars only. We still have 20ish or so slots available and if you have never raced there the track prep is killer!!!
Here is the...
I took my 1998 P71 Crown Vic Police Interceptor to the dragstrip last night to get some runs in. I knew it was going to be the slowest I ever went down the strip but I was really there to help my brother run his newly aquired 1995 Z28.
I waited until the sun was down because I had a suprise for...
This was a few quick runs after Bradenton. Cobra Bob couldn't run with us at the track so he wanted a shot at me afterwards. We usually don't play like this on the highway but we were limited and I don't see Bob that much. He has a 2004 Comp Orange Cobra that dynoed 489 rwhp and he can drive the...
Of all the 9 and 10 sec GTOs, all of them are stalled autos. Diff Techniques in Australia had the first 10 second manual GTO at 10.94 but they did it with fats/skinnies, 3.91 gears and weight reduction.
I did it today on a T&T so-so prep. The air was great for drag racing but it was a little...
It was nice today! I got 2 runs in the low 11.4s and I was warned and sent back to tech - slow down or stop running . . . I did practice some launches and I cut better 60s that would have had me in the 11.20s but I didn't want "das-boot" so soon.
I did take home the LSX Motor Class award and...
