Squirrels=tree rats! I used to shoot/eat alot of em when I was a teenager. Haven't done it in years. I try to kill a few deer every year thou. Love the meat and eat all of it I can get my hands on!
I heard you guy in Texas had issued with them wild hogs? Like to get a few of them too!



My car had about 220 miles on it when I sent it off. That was back in July. I didn't even use up the tank of gas it came with. Looking forward to destroying the stock tires!
Windy we have plenty of deer and wild turkey so let me know when you want to come down and get a deer. The pic shows a little one within 25 feet from my house. One late night we had one right next to our bedroom window snorting really loud scared us for a minute.

After my car was done at LPE - I got between 24 & 26 mpg on the way back to SD driving about 75 mph. I don't get that most of the time now just because my right foot is a little heavy.

You guys are getting closer - I can't wait to see more!!! I have been on the road all week and no time to drive my car really sucks. That and the drag strip is closed for the year already. I have to get out as much as I can before the weather starts getting bad. I picked up a set of spare stock rims for some drag radials next year though and some spare rubber for the back.

You guys may be interested in this article. Kevin at Lingenfelter built this G8. Car and Driver did a magazine article on it. http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...specialty_file
I posted it in the V6 Supercharger thread but the first sentence is almost, "prophet like".

I would settle for warmer weather all year round for open drag strips and tracks!!! Oh and while we are at it - I would like for your car to get done, so I can see what it will do

I wonder if LPE would Supercharge my Volvo before I ship it to Florida for the winter.

Hey Paul,
You and I have the same color Camaro! Too Cool, dont know why this is the first black car I have ever owned, just kinda felt this needed to be black. I guess we will both spend a lot of time keeping them clean, huh?

I spend quite a bit of time and money keeping this Camaro and my black Tahoe clean. I can wash and wax my Camaro and less then 10 minutes later there is already a film of dust. It is a nightmare but I also have a white truck and it is not much better.

Man you want to talk dust, try west Texas. I know what you are saying, I keep her in the garage and she still gets dusty. Spring around here means 60 mph wind and blowing sand storms, so I dont think my car will see the light of day much in the spring. White tends to hide the dust for us.

After it gets back from LPE you can outrun the dust? Ever try an air filter in the garage?
