double0, I apologize. I completely misread your post just above my last one, I somehow got the idea you were talking about modern (C5+ vettes, maros) had horrible handling. Thats what I get for trying to comprehend what I'm reading just after waking up. lol
To get back on topic; Newb, what kind of track time is this thing gonna see? Is it gonna be strictly 1/4 mile or do you have SCCA type events in mind?
My goal for this car is low tens. Driven to the track, run, and driven home. Its gunna take quite a bit more suspension, some more weight trimming, and the new tranny and engine parts. Prally a little spray too. Strictly quarter mile for this car. A local track does run some road course stuff, but I just prefer straight line stuff. In the future if I decide to run Auto-X or anything, itll just take some slight tweaks and tires.
On a side note, I hit a few banked turns on the freeway on the way home today (usually sittin in traffic when I come through em) and the car did ok, but the ET Streets sure give the car a lot of understeer. Besides that it wasnt bad. I might end up gettin a tubular pan hard bar support to tighten things up a bit. But thatll add weight to the car, and I dont need it to go straight, so well see lol.
Lmfao!a simple rod and piston change along with changing NOS jets and it's an eight second car for well under 20k.
