I hear alot about subbframes and torque boxes.
Are these just as crucial with an sn95?

Actually, if you can JUST get the front rubber off the ground, or ALMOST off the ground, you will see your BEST 1/4 mile times as ALL the car's weight will be on the back axle. If you have enough motor and suspension to do this instead of spinning the rear rubber, all the energy will be used to make your car go forward.

OKAY if you wanna pull the drivers side wheel off the ground heres the ghetto way!!!!!!
Go to hardware store buy a long threded bolt like 2 or 3 feet get nutz to.
somehow my freind used this to tighten up his suspension so the wheel had no travel downward.
so when i he left the line he picked up the right front tire about a foot.
then he just cruised down the quarter mile and took the contraption off..
sure its ghetto but his brother snapped a pic at the line.
and that big blowed up pic looks good with him pulling the wheel in his garage...
sticky tires help!!!!
ohh and it is a chevy lol 67 camaro it ran 13 seconds so it was mild
thats it for ghetto liston 101...
before I get bashed I wouldnt do this but if i was say younger 19-21 it would be an awsum pic to show all your buddies just dont let the ghetto secret out lol
