Oh oh... not what you mean.... on a roll, I can get mine lose at will by just stomping the loud pedal in 1st, 2nd, and the bottom half of 3rd... In the top half of 3rd I'm going fast enough that it will normally hookup with a little chirp. Now when it's cold or wet... 4th gear gets to be pretty tricky... Merging on to the freeway when it's wet is an exercise in throttle control. The Pedders gear really helps, make the car more predictable and recoverable but the power sneaks up on us as you well know. From a dig, I have to launch at 1800 ish and roll on to the gas. I can't mash it to the firewall, even at 2k, it will toast the rears.... and I usually have to short shift 2nd or go to redline and lift a little on the gas to keep planted. Going to 3rd I can power shift and she's pretty planted. I can probably do a rolling burn out at 40 max MAYBE.... so doing one at 100 is just not really something I understand....

Hop is fine, headed out the door in a few minutes to chase down some paperwork and stuff so I can report to worrk on the 2nd of Jan... The rig should be throwing out anchors tomorrow, Saturday in Mexico... I leave tomorrow morning to go down to Cuidad Del Carmen in the Bay of Campeche to take a class required by Pemex, and then will fly into New Orleans on Monday and go to the Mexican Consulate Tuesday, and fly home Tuesday eve...

That's mostly good news, except for the Mexico part. Is your buddy that went in with you okay?
I'm sure someone already mentioned it, but, we'll be needing vids with that new diff

It's good they give you classes as dancing can be dangerous.
You aren't "floating" this rig are you?
