For those who haven't seen this monster run since its upgrades from last year, you are in for one heck of a big surprise. Words cannot even describe how fast (or loud ) his car is now.

It was fun to let her rip a little. She propably enjoyed it as much as me. Yes the stang is very loud..specially at WOT. At least it's not just exhaust you're hearing. It's PoWeR.

Last year, with 60% LESS power, the car was spinning bad on a WOT launch, and heated Dr'S. I was able to access power in mid 2nd gear with the 275/40/17 BFG Dr's. But now... With those 275/50/15 BFG Dr's and all the suspension stuff I did on, I'm lauching at 3/4 WOT with maximum 1/4 of a second spinning. After that, I'm gone...and I mean GONE. Thats with 30psi and no burnouts at all. Cant wait to take her at the track. Next Saturday if the weather is ok. I've never been in a 12second car, but if I compare with my old times/power, this is an easy low 13sec N/A car, if not less. I dont wanna talk too much about times cause they are often deceiving... But I'm confident. Anytime you wanna cruise again Jim, you know I'm always in for that. Except when there's cops everywhere like last night..

Is it Wednesday that you'll need my help for moving ?

Mario, I would go so far as to put money on the fact your car is 12 n/a or better right now. When you hit the throttle, you didn't spin tires at all, your car just planted its butt and BAM, gone.

You just pulled away from me like I was standing still every time I tried . You even got me when I did the "Hey Mario look at that over there!" trick .

The cops sure did put a little extra hair on our chests tho. I thought we were in for some trouble when I saw those cherries light up .

Maybe I'll join you at the track at the same time since my car should be all done by then as well. And yeah, Wednesday is big moving day.

So the converter will be in for sure by next weekend?
I'll help you on Wednesday just let me know what time ?

It would be cool if you could come next weekend. We could get more people with stangs as well. And you have slicks now that you need to try.

Looks like I'm going to need more help than cheap underhanded tactics .

The car should have the converter in by Thursday morning, so it will be in time for this weekend, assuming nothing messes up. As for the slicks, I still need to put the driveshaft loop on.

I've got a few others helping out to make things go faster for the move. It'll be a good workout, you should see how heavy this desk is .

Will they even check for a driveshaft loop at Luskville, if you're running slicks ?
I doubt it. I dont have mine on.

I know that when I go to Sanair, I take a certain exit and then I get to a STOP (or light). There's a sign that says Sherbrooke(turn right). I'm just wondering how far I am at that point... I'd like to come.
I always turn left, to go to Sanair.

I thought about it. But, its not like its going to be back breaking labor to put in the driveshaft loop, just pull up the carpet and do some quick drill work.

Besides, its a good precaution in case the driveshaft ever cuts loose .

Lastly of course it would really suck if I paid $20 just to get booted out (or even worse, run on my toasted kumho's ) I'm going to make sure I even have a helmet with me, in case they insist.

From the autoroute10, exit55. Then I usually turn left on Rd235. From that point, I'm about 30minutes from Sanair, so I should be like 20minutes from Sherbrooke then.
