well i dont want to be like all the damn import guys who just gut there car and leave it. Actually i only added about 12 pounds between the carpet and wood. O and if you are worried about kids then why are you asking about gutting your car

I only took out something that can be easily put back in. I'm not looking to gut my car just wanted to reduce some pounds just for tomorrow and noticed it wasn't worth it. Seems you took offense for what I said aboutyour custom rear seat deletebut it doesn't matter to me what you do just stating you added the weight back in.

eh what ev i didnt take offense to it, to each his own, i just stated that i didnt want my car to look like a gutted piece of **** , AND i actually did loose weight when i did it, not as much as i would have if i would have left it gutted.... but every bit counts.

ORIGINAL: FivePointOhh

...you're hoping to hit 13's with only 390 gears? no slicks or anything else but the mods in your sig?
Well, it's official you are 100% correct.[&o]Stock I ran 14.5 @95 with the same tires.
First run I ran 15.6@92 spinning 1rst 2nd and chirped 3rd. The track everyone was complaining about it wasn't prepped or anything or at least didn't feel like it.

Second run reved at 2000 RPM same in first but I didn't floor this time until I shifted into 2nd which that did me nothing but first place in burnout contest. 15.4@94

Third run dogged 1rst lifting twice dogged second lifting twice as well. It was like I was in snow or something. 15.2@95
I lifted 4 times and pulled the same trap as my stock run with decent traction. Obviously I need slicks bad!! What do you guys think about me getting in 13s next with slicks? I think it's def possible.

I really think I can pull it off. I mean I had serious wheel spin without even trying. I'd be quite stoked if I could pull 13s on a stock motor with just adding slicks. I'd get my cousin pissed off with his Srt4 that's been in the low 13s for 2 years now that did just as crappy as I did last night. lol
