Ah Ha! I see a drag racer after all. So glad to see ya out wearing it out my friend. That's one awesome all around car you have there and look fwd to seeing more vids. I'll admit, I'm surprised to see the RXT going away on ya. Mine despises me for the last two years and 20000 miles, but it still hooks like new. That thing has got to be the Zeus of power. Big congrats man.

the Toyo Proxis R888s did FANTASTIC...they hooked so well the clutch never had a chance...

Sounded like they weren't hooking at all? Do 2nd gear burnouts in the box. Like said you don't wanna be banging off the limiter.

didn't hook on the first pass but did on the second...I think that's why the clutch lasted the first pass but died on the second one...

Thank you for the limiter advice

You've been to the ring with this?

 

[slocum1946]

You've been to the ring with this?

unfortunately no (I did almost take it but that would have involved 3 more months of not having my GT500 to ship it to Germany and back- and this would have been right after a 5 month build)--but other cars driven by me have been around it...

this decal is a tribute to the road course intent of the build...I may replace it with a Willow Springs decal as I'll hit that track several times over the next 2 months...
