Thanks man, but honestly I may be a little rusty. lol

I have not hit the strip in about 2+ years. lol These shakedowns may be good to bring foot memory back.

I don't know yet, they are calling for rain all weekend.

I hope it doenst rain, if it doesn't I am going early saturday morning and trying to come back home around 2 PM.

VMAX7

Im pretty sure it was SGC's car, ive seen it more than once and after browsing old posts it looks like I took a vid of his car one night at the track then posted it to youtube which caused controversy a few years back regarding his methanol lines underhood :-| Something bout his alleged use of nitrous. Whatever.

Well ill be fast asleep early tomorrow morning, have fun and safe passes!

V12Godspeed

Hahaha! That was you?? I see. yeah he cleared the air with that already. SGC is cool. Hopefully I will come close to his numbers but time will tell. Don't know if it will happen tomorrow, 60% chance of rain. Might have to wait for Wednesday.

VMAX7

Lmao I hate to have been THAT guy to stir the pot, I find out three yrs later... Im curious to know what he drives now, a tuned 65 is the best a man can get. Not many cars will be a step up..only rocket that comes close is a 997 Turbo PDK but thats a lateral move, not a promotion.

The last time I saw his car run it had street tires all around iirc when he did a 10.80. Standing behind his car watching it take off like a UFO was beyond epic. Yours will obviously do good things!

Wednesday night im off, id love to see your CL at PBIR if the rain holds up, tomorrow morning ill be waay too tired to show up.

RaceHorse

Hey, were you able to make it out to the track today?

V12Godspeed

Nope, I had some issues on my way to the track. I did not connect intercoolers correctly and boost hoses were blowing off. I decided to take the time and do some more testing and highway runs, she seems perfectly fine now. I will either run tomorrow or Wednesday. Really sucks as I wanted to run vs some nice Fords at PBIR.

V12Godspeed

She was ready for war.... New RS-51 wheels, 19-20 lbs and Monolites w/ hoosiers, cant forget Black series 507 stickers. I swear they give you 20-30 hp.

hyelifeCL

Wow that 65 looks good. Can't wait to see the progress. Good job!

Thericker

Yo Jody... Car Looks dope, interesting sticker above rocker panels, it looks really good on Ahab

V12Godspeed

Thanks!

Thanks. Yeah it's the 507 BS sticker, just wanted to change her up a lil. lol

Got my car back today as well Jody but could not get out to the track this weekend, had a lot of fun doing house work. lol. I will be out sometime this week or next weekend. Good luck on you times, car looks good

VMAX7

Hey lmk if youre going to the track on wednesday night

V12Godspeed

I will let you know. Just found out there is family night at school tomorrow. I have to talk my way out of that one now. Damnit!! lol

kamilclk430

lol get your priorities straight man

We all know on this board whats more important. Vmaxx he will be at the track. No Thx needed

VMAX7

lmao and my buddy really wants to see your Merc move so if you cant make it then itll be two complete strangers youre letting down as opposed to your children LOL

V12Godspeed

Damn, the pressure is on. I am trying to talk the wife out of the family night. Honestly I don't expect much from these runs, I am really doing them to ensure she stays together in the 1/4. I have a feeling tranny will not handle the power so since I am dropping motor in a few weeks if it goes at the strip we will have the pleasure of rebuilding it while motor is out.

kamilclk430

Trans should hold it no? unless you got a bit more under there than we know

V12Godspeed

Nah, This car is high mileage and she has been feeling kind of funny. I don't want to drop motor and then put it back together only to know that when we add another 100 hp it will fall on its legs. That's why I decided to add a few ponies now and do some hard launches and see how she reacts.

kamilclk430

100% with you, I got some miles on mine too I better start looking out for mine as well.

i got a 722.649 that would be a good rebuild candidate. 700 plus 150 to ship.

V12Godspeed

Thanks, Will keep you posted.

V12Godspeed

I finally talk the wife out of the School meeting only to hear Test & Tune has been canceled due to heavy storms tonight. I can't win one!!!!

RaceHorse

That sucks, I figured you had a chance at doing both quick school thing and then family night at the track. Ohh well.

Do you have the TCU done or just the tune? If not get the TCU so you can give it a does of the torque it will eventually get. Maybe not all but atlesast beyond the preset limits. How many owner car is it? If its changed hands a bunch of times its a new person with a new group of friends to show off to. Maybe all at once is the easier and less aggravating way to go if the budget and time are both there. Good luck in your quest.

I'm on my way to dinner; mid 60's now in NY perfect V12tt weather.

next time
