You must have forgotten to check the boxes where they asked if you've screwed hundreds of millions of people and ruined the world economy.

Oh Ed.....

I'm bored...



FLATOUT has them in his car and Joan and I sat in them. They are actually pretty comfortable. These are Barcaloungers compared to AlohaC5's seats..

Ed, thanks for the headers and tune. At Richmond Dragway today I was able to put down 11.94 at 119.55 MPH on runflats. I need to get better tires to get better 60'. I hit 120 MPH a couple of times, but lower ET.

No improvement in the 60’, constant 1.9’s, I believe lack of traction was the problem. I couldn’t feel 1st gear spin but they must have been spinning, when shifting to 2nd I could feel it break loose. I think I will need DR and converter to bring down the 60’. I was surprised how the power never leveled off down the track, it just wanted to keep on climbing. I was hoping to hit 11’s but didn’t think I would be able to on the runflats. Great job Ed, I am trying to decide on the next upgrade.
