Thats why it will be in San Antonio... he uhm, ah , never mind... It'll be in San Antonio... Could you imagine them impounding and taking possession of this beast...using it as a patrol/pursuit car, heaven help the rare idiot that wants to run when Brandi is behind them...

And Kyle, you know you are on the list... Test drives will be minus the drag radials though... If anyone is going to try to pull the front wheels, it will be me, and if I break something it's on me...

I guess worse case scenario, I break one and replace them with something designed for pure racing.... that will handle the HP torque....
They basically said they would guarantee that particular design for 1200TQ/1200HP and even a 1.3x 60' time. They said they have tested them much further, but that is the "guarantee" level. Any more TQ/HP or 1.2x and faster 60' times...

Thanks Bruce, I feel better now, you had me worried a little, but I won't have the hp or torque to reach that limit. My injectors alone will limit me to about 900 rwhp.

Only 900 RWHP? Holy cow !!! That'll be a rocketship.
I bet you Brandi will still have great street manners with that setup.


I bet you are going to have a revolving line of rear tires from TireRack...

I'm thinking the more revolving set will be from Jegs... two are supposed to arrive at the house today...

Well, GM and GMPP finally more or less came through...

my new GMPP spoiler finally arrived... only ten months after I ordered it... and it's black... but I'll paint it and that'll be fine... I'm just glad to have it prior to the fest....
