Take a look at my 60ft. run!
I had the TOB replaced today & had the mechanic make a 60ft. run to test my clutch adjustment, the Trak Loc, & to see what the 315's would do with full throttle. He was shocked that a customer wanted him to do a burnout! But he loved it LOL...sure was fun & I was glad to see two nice even stripes.... the car went straight til right at the end. Then a chevy guy jumped in his pickup to show me how a chevy would do....hehe I got him by a car length!

Almost as much fun watching my car as driving it would have been.....

no video? I have not done a good burn out for a long time but plan on getting it in action when I do.

nice man! so i take it you got the clutch problems fixed?

Well....in a manner. Right after this I took it down to Calif on a 400 mile trip. Thought I was finally good to go. The whole shifting system failed! I am replacing the flywheel, clutch, pressure plate & bearings again as we speak just to be safe. Seems there were two helicoils in the flywheel I was not told about, the Fidanza 1.0 clutch failed & the pressureplate was over torqued ....no way to prove what went first or what was the cause but I am rethinking my trust in the first shop! Thankfully I found a very competent shop that appears to be doing a first class job...it will be back together Monday & we will see. Now I have the only $1700 STOCK GT Ford clutch in existence! Doing everything over twice is not fun...
