Very pretty car!
I can't wait to get a set of pro-stars (probably going with summit stars actually, need money for tires too).

nice lookin car man. (are those front wheels off the ground?? just curious) looks good

95vert... mine are the summit ones, they look good, imo ofcourse... id think on an sn theyd look even better seeing that theyd be 5 lug

heres my launch on strange 10 ways(Front only) and 4banger springs.. stock motor/gear/everything else... and of course m/t drag radials...

not quite as good, lol...but its not an 11 sec pass(their comming, hopefully before the track closes)

My goal is a 12 and/or lifting one or both front wheels off or nearly off the ground.

I have a picture of a soft launch with street tires ofmy car and it lifted pretty nicely.

nope no bag... its on the list of **** to get i guess, lol... no front sway bar will cause it to launch twisted like that lol... mines long gone...

i think that was a nitrous pass... so a mid 13 pass or so, thats not on the bottle tho, nitrous didnt kick in till after that...

i wanna see atleast a 12.2, if i can get this car back together by dec 15, thats when our track closes.

a blown motor being replaced by a stock motor turned into a cam/intake/header/rear swap lol
