Damn… gotta get some pictures from your phone at least next time!

That sucks… one thing after another, huh.
I think my buddy who ran way faster than me might have gotten a few pictures of my car, should know later today.

Yeah, trying to get those done I really want to see them on my car!

Seems like the car should be running faster despite the weight though, I think the limited tuning for the v6 is holding it back. I've had multiple tunes from Trifecta but none of them have been great.

Thank you! I figure my car isn't running hard enough to really risk any damage in the 1/4 mile. Taking it on the road course was probably pushing it but hey, you only live once haha!
Stereo equip and 22s still not a bad time though. And who doesn't love taking it out on a road course!

I know how that goes, how it normaly was for me, this time I'll be in the field. I need to make it to one of them eventually...

Did you get any pictures from the Autocross?
Yeah the road course was definitely worth it! Still haven't gotten the pictures from that photoshoot… trying to remain patient haha!

Thank you! I could probably improve my time with stickier tires and a burn out but oh well… haha!

I have an exciting update….

I met the associate editor of GM High-Tech Performance at my local track a several months back and my SRT-8 brake conversion got mentioned. Well, long story short… my car is in the May issue of GM High-Tech Performance magazine!

I was so excited when I saw it, I bought every magazine on the shelf haha!

Here are some screen-shots from my digital subscription…

Thank you! I never thought I'd get into a magazine, just a matter of getting noticed by the right people I think

Seems like I haven't been on the forum in a long time! Probably a good month, I've been slacking!

Thank you so much! It was just one picture and a paragraph but I was super excited! Crazy part was GM High Tech got shut down one issue after my car was in it when Source Interlink changed over so my car made it in just in time
