i went with an S-Tune because of how often I drive on a track compared to my everyday habits. I live with my girlfriend.....in downtown DC.....so that should also help explain why I had to go with something a little more streetable. Not my first choice but hell...can't have everything I want.

Ah ic-reason I ask was because I thought I remember you telling me you were having Tein Flex installed a while back one day when I was up there. DC sucks. Good luck with everything cant wait to see some dyno numbers then some track times on the 26!

The 26th is going to be an interesting day... There's definitely a lot of changes coming this month with a lot of our rides. Should be an good turn out and I'm sure the track times will settle some of the debates.

I'm also really curious about how may of us will break into the 11's. I'm going to have to break down and get a set of slicks...

Just keep in mind track times really reflect drivers ability, not necessarily the car's. I know some of you guys will beat the pants off me... but I believe I have the highest HP car so far in this group. It's just gonna be a fun day out

Yeah +100 on what Bambam said. People think 400+whp = 11's or see others with lower power numbers and they expect the same or better. Thats ok though, the track doesnt lie, it hurts egos, and we learn from it. Brent you def have the highest hp in the Mid-A, and I have the fastest Z down the 1/4 There are a handful of Z's in this area that properly driven could beat my times, lets see who is gonna step up and take it.

Noah... I am NOT going to wrap my new beautiful engine around a chicane... not gonna happen dude... It will be a nice leisurely stroll around the course until I get a lot of seat time and my suspension dialed in...
I still swear my Hotchkis sways make my car skittish as hell... maybe I need to loosen the rear one notch...

Bring it on baby....

I definitely want to see how ALL the numbers play out (1/4, track, rwhp, etc.). Between Alberto's 1/4 time and Brent's insane power levels, it's really going to boil down to pure skill for anyone else in the mid-a. Maybe the only real test is going to be a full out time attack challenge...

Hmmmmmmmm. Any takers?

Okay... "big wheelie" As long as it's got pedals and a hard plastic seat, I'm all about it...
