Yep. Very first run. Light goes green, out goes the clutch on the upswing at 3800 rpm, snap goes the wusspod passenger front halfshaft like a match stick. I was instascrewed.

The car felt ultra strong too. My friend in a Z06 picked me up...and his car felt slow. Maybe I can get some video of me running him, but I doubt I'll take it back to the track.

Sorry I couldn't get numbers. :-(

Default Ouch. Sorry to hear...

We got rained out tonight... I probably shouldn't have even tried running. I always have a moment or two where I wonder why I keep doing this to my car... It's just so much fun.

He is the farthest thing from a psycho pilot. He is more like a wusspod pilot.

LOL. I may not be Nick Gustas, but I'm no wusspod!

Default That is hilarious......I was thinking of Nick when I read "Psycho Pilot"

I have to change my boxers everytime I get out of his car.
