Re: Better ProStar pics

I don't know, the car still looks pretty clean to me.
Now my car is dirty. It rained and washed all the dirt from the car cover onto the car.

Re: Better ProStar pics

I'm sorry but I just cant help from laughing at seeing such skinny tires on a Trans Am

And they still look like truck tires to me but whatever. Enjoy the slight difference in ET at the track

Too much for a stock car man. You need a good DR, not a M/T DR. These hook as well as some slicks. I have seen guys cut 1.4-1.5 short times on them with autos.
I am looking for 1.60-1.65. Weak spot will be the stock driveshaft.

You can keep your skyline. I have no use for one.

Yeah.
Why is that funny?

Hasn't failed yet. Although it hasn't been put through any really hard launches.

I don't plan on going crazy on the launch.
At least yet.

Re: Better ProStar pics

Surprisingly LS1 driveshafts can hold up to some impressive torque numbers. Although, we live in the real world and it is made of soft aluminum and with as far from stock as Mr.Luos has traveled. That is most certainly his weak link. I don't think it will break on the first few passes but I see the ds breaking at the rear weld one of these days on a nice heavy launch that hooks well.
