    LMAO!!! I am stoked!!!

    Should be in my garage Thursday. Spent two hours with the car/owner today. Meeting at the track on Thursday for him to do a run, then me to do some runs. Then deliver it to my house.

    Nothing even pretending to be streetable here. In theory it started as a Camaro, but its a full tube chassis car, with fiberglass hood, doghous, doors, and trunk. Only steel is the roof and rear quarter panels.

    I'm gonna need a chassis school now.

    Yup, I just hope you don't grow weary of the SRT8 and not race it anymore. Bastard guy.

    Well - I'm still going to try to best my own current record, but then I plan to back it back down to a more enjoyable level. It's a ton of effort to make my car run that quick. Id' rather just run it on the motor at 12.50 or so and have fun.

    Then I'll use the real race car to run 5.40's in the 1/8th.

    In all honesty, the Camaro will run 0-130 mph in 5.40 seconds much easier than the SRT-8 can do 0-130 mph in 10.80 seconds.

    Actually - I will be buying a 24' trailer shortly.

    Sadly, I'll bet it costs as much to drive your trailer out here as it's worth. LOL.
