That 12.5 was all weather. Atco at this time of year can have a DA of -1200ft+ so when you correct the time, it's slower than what you actually ran. 425hp and 4200lbs without a driver should give it away. The GTO is 3700lbs with 400hp and I'm pretty sure they haven't come close to 12.5.The Hitman said:Drool... I so badly want an SRT8 (of the CHARGER persuasion). 4500 lb's and 12's. You gotta give that credit! That is hauling some serious you know what.
The Hitman said:Yes I used to go to Atco all the time when I lived in Philly. I know how the track works.BTW, I'm not impressed by the 400hp GTO. They run like crap here at Bristol. Every car does.. but they don't turn anything impressive. There's 3 or 4 stock ones that came every week this year.. and every week they all ran about the same thing. And it's not super impressive.
Don't get me wrong.. I really like the GTO.. It's just kinda let me down.
I have yet to see an SRT8 run at Bristol. Maybe next year, and then I can compare them at this track. Our DA blows here. Especially in the summer.

InMyPrimeSVT said:RC, did you paint your interior yourself? If so, what prep did you use, what paint, and what clear??
No probs at all, and it came out so nice that A guy on here (Harleyxxxx) (I forget his whole SN) shipped me his parts to paint for him. I told him it was a cinch, and I felt guilty collecting money for something so easy, but he just didnt have the time. He has since painted his entire interior and it looks awesome. The good thing about it is if there is a problem, the parts are so easy to remove and you can start over...just takes time and patience more than anything.InMyPrimeSVT said:Are you happy with your results? Does it look like it was painted at an autobody shop? Any problems with it so far?
94GTLaserRC said:Does it count if your car is quick, but somebody else did most of the work?
Anyway, if youre into the "go" and "show" like me, you enjoy seeing cars that have all different kinds of combos. I get way more compliments on my car with the looks and the polished parts in the bay that the pr**ck with the Porsche or Ferrari.

Used all spray cans. Uncer $10 total.InMyPrimeSVT said:That's cool RC. I'm gonna paint my interior in 2 weekends when I make it back down to my barn.
The paint you used...did it just come in a spray can or did you put it in a compressor??
You bet it does
Your car is quite impressive to me
You had a plan and did what was needed to make it happen
Just cause you did not turn the wrenches has no bearing on how everything came out

Grady:
Actually, after the INITIAL S/C install, I did turn a lot of wrenches (with lots of help from Joe, Roger, Javi, Jose, etc), but more importantly, Ive hurt my back more than once lifting and getting underneath (prior back surgery).
Im trying to learn more myself, but there comes a time with a 10 and 8 YO daughter, to pay someone else for some of the work and spend time with my girls. Since I have NO plans to get rid of the car, I can keep it status quo for awhile...when they get older, I will have LOTS of time to work on it.
