I was thinkin' the same thing... "Hey, there's a fence at the end of this "track"!!

I also thought... "What a waste of good rubber...Tsk, Tsk..."

No, not really!!

500 mile break-in on what component EG?
Engine is not in yet...
New Z06 brakes....not yet...
Tires? You put 500 miles on tires before smokin' them? That's a new one on me... Ever see a racecar put 500 miles on a set of tires, then run-em hard??

Anyway... cool stuff man.

500 miles on my new drivetrain - new Rodney (RPM) race A4, Yank SS3600 stall and ECS 3.90 gears. I still have another 300 miles or so seasoning before I can really beat on it.

Right now, with 384rwhp, 3.90 gears and 3600 stall, I could burn my tyres to the ground. The big cam I installed has finally been let off the leash and can romp at high rpm.

Traction is a thing of the past - even at highway speeds

Grond is insane now - I shudder to think what it will be like in a few months

LSD should work - it's a ECS bulletproof rear end

The line lock is a ECS custom install.

Well EG...in another thread I was recommending that you consider modaholics anonymous, but I can clearly see that you are way too far gone for that. You know you are sick, but are unwilling to change and now the disease is pillaging you for all you are worth. Shameless mod after shameless mod...the drive to work and slave every day just to get the fix of another mod to Grond.

I can see it all now...soon we will only hear from you occasionally since you will be sleeping in your car and only able to log on to the forum from the local library from time to time...that is if you can pull yourself away from whatever modification you will be doing at the moment. You are completely taken over by the big M...Mod disease!

I feel so powerless watching all this happening to you and you live so far away and there is nothing I can do about it...you see...I want to learn from you...I want to be as sick as you are...can you help me?!?

Take the plunge. Tell yourself that shelter, food and warmth are 'optional'.

All that matters is a good garage and mod money
