Frightened Yet ?
Anybody here do a mod/s to their car and were frightened the first time you jumped on it ? I was startled the first time my car shifted from 1st to second under w.o.t. with the 3.75 rear gears. The rear end tried to come around and trade places with the front end 
I did a 2800 stahl as well and it made me giggle I'm hoping a 100 shot has the same effect. Anybody got one that's pushing big horsepower that is a handful to drive ??

Nothing has scared me on the c4. A friend has a 10.00 second supercharged mustang that I race once in a while. The first time I launched that car, I yanked the wheels at least 3 feet in the air and cut a low 1.4 60' time.
I knew that I could not snap the throttle shut or it would come down hard.
That scared me. Second run was the same, but at least I was prepared for it.

no, but I once had one heck of a ride after an alignment. Somehow the alignment was way off on the rear wheels. I turned into traffic and luckly there wasn't alot and they where able to slow down to watch me do three massive fish tails in the middle of the road trying to correct it. Man was my heart racing after that...I almost totalled it twice but came out without a scratch. I still wonder how much of an a$$ those other cars thought I was driving like that.
