Recent pictures of my car............................................... .....

Took a few pictures a few weeks ago (Before I sell it ). These pictures were before I had my new Mickey Thompson ET Fronts installed.

Notice the new race axles and side exhaust.

It's not just her. I hardly ever drive it, over the years I've lost interest in going fast. Just ask my friends, I'm terrified of going fast.

The car scares the crap out of me.

It will probably sell quicker if you had a 9 sec time slip to go along with the package!

Yes!

I'm going to make it a priority to get out to the track soon. I'm just scared of breaking the new transmission.

I wasn't worried about it until Dan started breaking transmissions left and right

Just take it easy for the first couple of times. Once you feel confident then give it all it's got. You don't have to go out there and do a kamakaze run.

Was planning on taking it to the track next week but yesterday, the bearing in my C-Clip Eliminator exploded so I had to mail my axle and eliminator back to moser this morning.

What muffler are you using? I was kicking around the idea of the side exit exhaust but I don't want it to be horrendously loud.

With the side exhaust, I'm not running any type of muffler. I also have the Apex-N1 Cat Back Full Exhaust that bolts up when I don't want to run the race exhaust.

The side exhaust is scary
