  1. Now I’m in Georgia I went to silver dollar raceway in Reynolds’s. 1/4 mile.
     

    Made several passes. 1st was best and night cooled track off quickly. 
     

    12.46 @ 118mph. 60ft was 2.2. It’s usually does 1.7’s.

    My take away is car is still faster than I expected and makes a hell of a lot more hp than claimed. Was not expecting 118. Easily an 11sec car with a tire.

  2. My worthless 2 cents. 
     

    Automakers love electric cars because the simplicity of them makes them hugely profitable (or will). Less material cost, less labor etc. We are already paying stupid high prices so this to me is a no brainer for the auto industry. 
     

    BTW, I’ve tried arguing the non-panacea that these are even with the likes of Johnny Lieberman. You will not win this argument as they have drank the from the nectar of the progressive nutsak. That said, the challenge is the rare earths and extensive additional use of petroleum products required to make said batteries. 
     

    im not shitting on electric cars as I have said all along, when I can fill one up with the same convenience as I can a ICE vehicle I will be in. The power is amazing, the ability to alter and change platforms is also cool. But no way would I want to sit and wait for a charger to be available on a road trip let alone the wait for the charging. 
     

    the zealots will say, ( well most of us charge at home so blah!) Fine, but many don’t and if you use a truck like a truck you ain’t getting far.

  3. Looks like the recline on my seat is broken, headlights look sandblasted yet are only a year or so old. Feels different, I expect after driving my Z4 it will. I’m Sure I’ll get comfortable in it again just feels smaller than I remember. 
     

    But, it’s ornery. No traction at all in first, second lots of wheel hop and I certainly need to practice shifting. Torque is huge difference and it pulls pretty hard. Definitely needs tire. Can’t imagine what it will be like with the supercharger. My skills will never get the most out of it. 
     

    so still lots to do but glad it’s back and the ac still blows ice cold😬

  4. Well, after the shipping company being missing two delivery dates and then not knowing where my car was it finally arrived. 
     

    dad was there to meet the driver as I’m in Georgia. Dads comment,”this son of a bitch sounds mean as hell. It’s awesome!” I’ll post some sound clips this weekend.

     

    Taking Friday off. The dragon is calling

  5. I vote for ideas, not person. People are flawed, but a flawed person can have ideas that benefit. The left has an understanding that government fixes all ill’s. The right believes government is the natural anti-liberty entity. 
     

    I vote based on liberty. Not perception that fairness is a liberty dictated by government. 

  6. Raid the home of the most favored President to exist in the modern era. 
     

    morons. Look the deep state has to take him out now. They won’t. He will run and win. 
     

    fascist commies deeply embedded are panicking. 
     

    I know these libtards are dumb but damn!

    Next is gears. I want to do a 4.30 gear. 

    That should put me in the 7s down the 1/8

    I'm running 9.0 on motor i haven't been to the track since I got the nitrous setup 

    I put 4.30s in mine for towing. No converter and needs one but made a difference. 
     

    my truck is heading to my son so if he keeps building it fine or the rust will eventually take it. Either way it served me well. 
     

    probably **** himself when he has to fill up every couple days😄

    I guess I'm in the minority.  I just don't care for the C8 Vettes.  They look like a fake Ferrari to me.  I'd much rather have a C5 or C6 Z06.

    Nope, agree totally. And now I see them all the time mostly driven by retirees. 
     

    Prices are falling so there are going to be lots of depreciated tears soon. I imagine Z06’ will be north of200k with addendum. And the stupid money will pay it.

    ^ Variable cam timing on those engines?  That'd be the best way to have your compression "cake and eat it too".

    Yep. It’s an impressive engine. Took it to my new job in Georgia last week. About 4 hours from home. Out Sunday night home Friday night.  
    little sucker loves 100-120mph and cruises comfortably at those speeds. Very responsive.

    I guess the handling is probably perception over reality. The m40 has to be better by the numbers. It was BMWs fastest car around the ring for a bit.

     

     

  10. Talked to Hutter today. Car is back together. Having them put a Cold Air intake on it as the stock unit is causing a bunch of vacuum pull. And about 30whp. 
     

    Hopefully I can get it shipped to TN next week!!
