Been off the site for awhile, was shocked to see it's changed. Recently snapped an axle at the track, most catastophic breakage I've ever had with this car and I've been spraying nitrous on it since 2005........been about it....here's the pics!

That burnout is right before the axle snapped..........I launched and I heard a "BANG", assumed it was just breaking up at the launch but it pulled HARD left all the way down the 1/4 mile. When I crossed the line and lifted and then slightly tap the brake, it pulled hard left again....I'd say if i was in the left lane when I launched I might've touched the wall and some point....definately at the top when end when i touched the brake.

What....no kudos for pulling a full size chrome 17x9 rim with a 245 off the ground! It's there.....even if you have to look a little harder lol!

Lol yeah it was a dangle....but I was damn proud............as for a vid, my car doesn't run that impressively anymore, falls on it's face. I swapped out the T5 for a tremec TKO 600, swapped the intake for a TF Track Heat with the still stock unported GT40s and it doesn't leave as hard anymore, might have to switch back the intake. As for the compliments, I appreciate them, so thanks!

Yep....that's the next mod before adding power.......didn't like the feeling of being broke at the track....took a jack to get the tires off the ground and roll the car out of the way....all the way to the trailer....and on the trailer...thank God for friends lol!

Suspension: BBK camber caster plates, Eibach drag springs all four corners, air bag right rear, Lakewood boxed upper control arms, lakewood traction action bars, stock struts (replaced last year), stock rear shocks (maybe original, I dunno lol), removed those side shocks, I can't remember what they're called, stock A-arms, K member, sway bars (front and rear) stock rubber bushings (minus bars in the rear, those are poly). Battery is still in the nose. Rear tires are M/T ET Streets 26x11.5 (no tubes) on stock 15" V6 rims.

Jonbeast.......yes skinnies would be awesome!
