dude, the car looks absolutely SICK, I love it. I take back everything I said about it not working, or not being the correct path, it looks sexy as fu(k.

What are you planning, or do you expect to run with it?

thanks man....the goal is mid 12s NA, and once i get the feel for the car and get all kinks worked out, ill add the 200 shot and aim for low 11s....eventual goals are much faster, but theres a limit to where i can push it on the parts that are on the car, and my budget at the moment....so only time will tell....biggest thing holding me back is going to be the suspension...im going to have a lot of trouble with traction and dont have the funds for LCAs or anything at the moment...only suspension mods are 300lb coil overs on the front, mm c/c plates, and stock rear springs with a coil cut

90/10's up front, and some adjustable uppers and you'll be good for while.

first attempt to drive it...we heard a funny noise so aborted...little playing around but nothing much, and it stalled once for some reason lol....the noise turned out to be the old grille that went over the speakers, it was in the back on the floor rattling around ....it was like 36 degrees out, think thats why it died

maiden voyage (part throttle pull about a minute into it...never went WOT though, wanted to get the rings set a little bit first)
