So for those who asked about a picture of my car from the track, here it is... Hard to believe this little bit of weight transfer was able to go 1.692 60'... NEED to get some 17x10.5 Bullitts out back though!

BTW yes my front bumper needs to be repainted. The prep wasn't done properly, and it gets driven a "bit".

I'm waiting to get through emissions, and get the car over to the body shop... He already knows I am coming, so it shouldn't be a long wait to get it done with.

Those FFW pictures are old, the front bumper has its first sign of paint chipping, LOL!

As much as i'm not a big fan of 18s, i don't think your car would look nearly as good with 17 inch bullits on it.

I dig the wrinkle walls.

You know, the reason you aren't hanging the front like your dad is because you have those heavy-ass 18s on there.

Juuuust kidding. You know I think your car looks like sex.

Front bumper will get done, when I get some time to coordinate it.

The 18s out front probably hurt, but I think the suspension does more to hurt the transfer. The car simply has no suspension travel. What you see in the photo above is about as much as the nose will rise. Skinnies might help slightly, but not much by my guess.

My father also has about 200 more rwhp. .

Love ur car man.

That bumper, even if you repaint it, a car that gets driven isn't gonna stay perfect. Stills looks damn nice though.

I so need to get a helmet and get mine to the track!

Brian actually drives is car, that's why he has stone chips. He doesn't just trailer it to shows and spray Meguiars Quik Detail on it like most car show queens.

That front cover isn't even bad to what I see.

I figured he was, but I do stick up for people. I just hate when people are scared to drive their cars because of that. Why have it? Sell it.

Yeah no worries... Not to mention the bumper does look terrible. The photo makes it look a lot better than it does. The paint is literally falling off in sheets... It would be an easy and cheap fix, but I have been SWAMPED at work, now live 40 minutes from the car, and have more important things to worry about. It will get done, but might possibly wait till right before I put it away for the year. Get it painted, maybe a clear bra, and then store it.

BTW the car gets driven a LOT. I did tow it to that race, but then again I have a comfy F250, a trailer available, ice cold AC, and no worries if I do trash the car! Who wouldn't tow their car with that set up?
