I particularly like this one, with GM in the background.

Thanks for posting. That is proof positive that Scott doesn't know when to get out of the rain.

Torque, really sticky tires, and a soft suspension.

Here's me coming out of a turn at about 70mph on an all stock 144,XXX mile Z51 suspension with some 335 Hoosiers and a car
that only makes 222whp and 317wtq...notice how high the front is and that the rear is probably on the bump stops.
Time to replace some stuff...

That makes sense. My suspension is pretty stiff with about the same horsepower and my car doesnt move like that. Cool picture though!! Looks like your making 800 hp!

HAHA yeah. Oh forgot to mention that I have a lightweight fiberglass race hood on it and no headlights (thier actually where the fog lights would be) so that takes about 100 pounds off of the front...that helps a bit. But yeah it has way too much air under the front.
