Man that's a tough one Bruce. Hope you get everything worked out soon. I don't remember...was your 4L80 controlled or manual?

Cali_Camaro_SS · 09-24-2011, 01:39 AM

Bruce:
I'm really glad you got some seat time, but I can't imagine how you must have felt when the tranny went. But, it's better that it blew now rather than when you got it back to Florida. I don't think anyone has ever had a build of this magnitude who didn't suffer some set backs. I think it's probably a normal part of building such a monster.

I'm looking forward to the videos. Thanks for taking them for us. We live vicariously through you.

In the end, when your car is right and you have it home, all of these delays and set backs will be distant memories and you will have the baddest 5th Gen the world has ever seen. I know I can't wait to see it someday (and maybe get a ride in it).

WTH? B, you are an oak.

Bring FreeBird to Pony Wars if the SST is sidelined!

AHH Bud that just sucks. Go for the Rossler, if they can hold up to 540 ci BAE TT set up, they should be good. That's the Pro Mod tranny of choice for the turbo guy's. They will stand up to SST.

andredmg · 09-24-2011, 10:16 AM

Unreal man but you are definetly building a legend so hang in there we all have your back brotha!!!

01TtopRS · 09-24-2011, 12:16 PM

sorry about the bad news hope things get straightened out soon, and did i read correctly when you said "a smooth violent feeling"?

Brianskeet · 09-24-2011, 12:27 PM

What a tough road you have had!! Hang in there. It will work out. I think DE is right. A build of this magnitude is going to have way more than normal birthing pains. The ability to go from smooth driving completely streetable car to fire breathing pavement crushing shredder is a tall order. Just doing one or the other can be tough. Getting both in the same car will be worth the pains. We are cheering for you!

damn, that sucks .. ..i,m gonna refer to you as DR.bruce...because you def have more patients then me..lol...glad you got to drive it...can,t believe that all this time nre had it , they couldn,t hurt it...you get there 1 day and smoke the tranny...maybe they build badd ass engines but don,t know how to drive it???....after my shop does some upgrade , i tell them drive it like they stole it, if it breaks then it wasn,t right to begin with...don,t drive it around the corner and make a few small laps, and park it up front....cause i,m gonna drive it like i stole it and i need to klnow it can handle it b4 i get my hands on it..good luck,

Bruce,

Thoughts of JOB come to mind... I also am glad you got a little seat time though it must be frustrating to have it taken away so soon... And this may be the first time I've ever seen you have anything negative to say about anyone or anyplace...

I feel for you, and I know it's frustrating... I the grand scheme of things though...

As MTCWBY told me, some people build bad cars so others can gawk and to give them something to talk about when things break... We fix it and move on... not an exact quote...

SST will run... Soon....

*mlee* · 09-24-2011, 02:44 PM

Exciting to hear how well the motor is going and that you got some drive time, That's the number one thing. Hope you get the new tranny in and tuned up quickly.

Exciting times are just ahead... hang in there bud...

Mr Twisty · 09-24-2011, 06:55 PM

Are you thinking maybe it had something to do with the previous trans problem? Hope they make it right for you...record the phone call to Bowler, I'd love to hear it
