At least she was able to see what bottom 12's were like. A world different from bottoms 10's, but still a little fun.

Jesse's already answered a yes, but with the 4 link you can adjust the "instant center" (i.e. the theoretical point the rear suspension is rotating around) and this will dramatically affect takeoff. I am hoping to have mine at the track in the next month or so (with my solid rear). Won't be running the times Jesse is yet but can't wait!

Can you imagine that vette at a stoplight and some dork in a ricer pulls up next to you and revs his car up for a little race? You take off on a wheelie and the guy in the ricer just pulls over to clean the sh*t off of his seat! Would be classic!

everytime you pull up to a stop light, about 100 feet before the light just cook the **** out of the drag radials to warm em up. Probably scare the **** out of a ricer anyways lol.
