That is a nice time on street tires. But I always kind of enjoyed those kind of encounters in my POS daily driver Mitsu :-).
I will be there with the srt most every friday. I may run my bike one friday(i'm getting a little old to run over a 130 m.p.h. on two wheels) that is if the wife say's I can, we run the big car on most sat-sunday races. btw what does your car run? so I know to stay away or not.![]()
Hey, sticking up for the evo, or at least just the 08 Lancer Evo which is the only year I love (newest appears to go back to the 08 style) they are not ricer to start. Yes, many many many, end up with that fate, but some like my army bud keeps it simple and classy. (Bit of a tune, cold air, exhaust - non obnoxious, ~412 horse) No removing seats, adding on resonator's, or any other silly crap.
Never was a muscle car type the last couple years of the US made trifecta has me drooling, Can never remember if it is the mustang or charger I don't care for but the other one + camaro are hot.
Got an 08 VW R32 (V6 260hp AWD) in January, been itching to find legitimate places to race up north without getting in trouble. Get lots of nice comments and it makes a great smooth/comfortable daily. Just wish I had the $10k to add the CTS turbo and get it up to 420hp. Needs it, for such a small car, it's 3400lbs.
If anyone is into SCCA or knows of autocross style racing opportunities within 30 minutes of Fort Collins/Loveland I'd love to hear from ya. Especially if it's something that happens on a Tues or Wed. My job is lame in that those days are my weekend. (Started on guns, cars are a new passion, so I'm really just learning some things.)
High 11's but I have done alot of suspension stuff since last year(up front-tubular k member,A-arms coilovers strange 10way shocks)(in the back-upper and lower contorl arms, spherical bushings strange 10ways and upr coilovers.), also took a few hundred pounds out of the car. I am hoping for 11.5 since I dont have a rollbar I cant go any faster... hehe.
We are in the process of building a nostalgia car. maybe an altered of gasser.
Been outa of it for about 3 years now since a friend passed.
Best 6.96 @ 201.96 in an Alky RED
37 Chevy Pro Mod 6.78 @ 207.37 all at altitude
We just did an SCCA type car a 69' Firebird for a guy, he's going to run that GT class for pre 72' cars. Hav a few road racers that we have built as well as alot of drag cars from Fuelers to brakets.
More into rat rods right now we will be at the KBPI show on the 11th with hopefully 3 cars and a bike or 2. Wish we still had the 55' to kick Willie B's ass.
