My only "mod" was not having my snorkles in place (since they are being copied for CF), but that shouldn't even matter at speed.

The other thing I noticed is if I did a HUGE burnout and the smoke took over the car that I was getting hesitation. Could that be smoke getting in there?

I have been working on this for the last few weeks. It seems that the rear gear ratio could be changed to a 3:06 gear or lower. I am working out how much torque to the rear wheels in each gear. So far with the 3:06 first gear gains 17% and so on. The biggest problem will be to get it to hook up on street tires. As is my 63 will spin the tires pretty hard even from a 15 mph roll. Which hopefully can be cured with some 285 ps2's.

The problem is I only have one set of wheels so far and can't make my mind up which light weight rims to get. I like rocket's old set but..

Come on buddy!!! You gotta get that 63 moving and the cups have tread? You have 18"? The choices are endless , I wish I had your problems. get the C21 or C22 or bbs rgr or hamann magnesiums, or oz ultraleggra. Man o man make that car go. TT the 63 not the viper LOL.

I was using a digital still camera so I was limited in what I could do in the video. Lots of fun thanks to everyone who came out. Look forward to the next meet.

By the way, I took HD vids all day, so I will post later. Some of you CLS guys will like the endings. Juicee and I were pushing it all the way past 120, easy and the track folks at that end were cool beans.

Okay, time to come clean.
Who are all these ugly mods?? Let's put some names to the faces.
***actually much younger and thinner mugs than mine but didn't want to sound gay.
