Re: 9 SEC V6 VETTE (CRVETTE92)
Here is a crappy quality video of Mike at Bowling Green earlier this year(Hey Mike, I haven't forgot, just been busy, a higher quality shot is in the works).
Anyone who says this is not a Corvette better open their mind, you ever hear of Hot Rod's motto? "Dare to be Different"
I applaud Mike on doing a project such as this, took a lot of thinking and it worked out well.

Re: 9 SEC V6 VETTE (Mr Mojo)
^^^^ Thanks Frank! :)
My alignment was way out this year in BG. That's why it had trouble hooking. The rear wheels looked like a slammed Honda's. :lol: It's all good now, thanks to Dennis.

NoWorries, it's funny you should mention that. I was told I had a bad miss when the first time I took it to the shop I go to now. I told him it sounded ok to me.... he said "you're miss..ing 2 cylinders."

Hi,
Maybe you can offer a bit of advice.
I am running a 60 vet with C4 suspension under it, usually use it for autocrossing but drag it once or twice a year. Best of 10.6 @ 127. Find at the top end it gets a bit sqirrelly, Had to drop the rear tire to 12 PSI to hook up.(Drag Slicks) Once I forgot to take a ton of toe out from a previous day on the autocross course and man was it ever interesting when I let off at the end of my first pass at Cayuga!
What are you running for alignment front and rear for the strip?
Thanks
Pete

Re: 9 SEC V6 VETTE (petergresser)
Sounds like you have a cool car!
I'm no expert but here's what seems to work for me.
I haven’t touched the front in years but was set at stock 85 specs. It may be different if you're running skinnies. I use my 275/45/17 street tires.
I found It hooked the hardest set at zero in the rear with the car in race condition and me in the car. The et streets were less forgiving than the slicks.
Try Woodbridge Alignment on Highway 7. Quality work and fair price.
