 This particular car has lots of suspension work done to it now. It also runs on 345's

 Just adds to the fun

 fair enough! whats its 0-60?
  • + 1
 nvm i googled it, 4.8 when its new
  • + 1
 I will get you one this summer, the car is in pieces at the moment Razz
We ran it last summer and it spun 1/8mi down the 1/4mi haha, but it was running on shitty street tires. 11.55s it ran, it'll be a little quicker this time with drag slicks Big Grin
Next time we ran it after that, on the first pass the diff exploded so its got a built Z06 rear end in er now

 muscle cars aren't my thing, my dads been into cars he can race at a track, so I'm kinda set on 4wd haha, lots of round a bouts here Smile with 4wd you can corner at 90 its amazing, granted, our truck was in the shop and we rented a challenger, it was fun, but kind of a pig to drive, i find corvettes to be the same

 and i look foreword to the updated 0-60!
  • + 1
 Yeah it's a totally different thing. You can corner very fast in 2wd cars as well, but it's scarier haha
Pfft, challengers are slow as shit haha, The vette at the moment has a 417 stroker dropped in it pushing 592hp N/A. Defenetly sounds like it will tear your head off Razz
So great

 right now we have a porsche C4S, and the sound is amazing, 8000 rpm is god like, and a redline shift from 2nd to 3rd is at 150kph hahaha

 Love the sound of porsches, especially the look of it when you put massive rear tires on it Razz
  • + 1
 and to this day those skid marks are on the road haha
  • + 1
 We'll make some new ones tomorrow! Big Grin aha
  • + 1
 is that it??
  • + 1
 Haha, Of course not. Later on in the summer, Ill get some vids of it a the drag strip. Hopefully gonna run mid 10s.

 It ran low 11's last year with street tires spinning half way down the track, so we got some slick's, and the cars' got a few more upgrades so it should be good.
