Congrats on the new car man!

Thanks guys. I like the paint! It's different. But it definitely needs to be polished up real good. It looks like the previous owner tried to because it has some bad macro-marring. The rear bumper needs to be re-adjusted and the front bumper needs to be re-painted due to cracking. But I'm not so worried about it right now.

I'm not a fan of the rims, and not a fan of the horizontals. As these things will be the first to go. Also, needs new tail pipes, and the front needs to be lowered more. It sits too high for my tastes!

And man does this thing pull hard. It was built by Mckeown Motor-sports Engineering. Engine builder said "It should run low 12's, high 11's, if you can get it to hook up" But im not too sure about that, lol I guess we'll see!

We need to get to work on the suspension !!!! i know a few guys

Some full length subframes, rear lowers new bushings in the uppers... and some nice MT Drag slicks we'll make it hook. Oh and we need to work on the rear end also

Definitely dude! I don't even bother getting on it right now because all it does is spin!

But when I slowly get into it, holy shit. Its night and day difference from my cobra.

Just gotta wait until after christmas :sad:

Time is all that is. i wouldn't do a drag radial on it if you do take it to the strip cause it's either the rear end or T5 that will blow. Drag radials are harder on all of them. Slicks have a better give. i do know someone that can rebuild it for a good price though.

Edit: actually it won't to roll into it just don't launch hard on the drag radials
