1badair, put some air bags in the coils in back and it might do it. thats a whole lot of squattin power that could be used to move the car forward instead. unless making it any stiffer means spinning. isnt your car a stick? cant remember. anyways Im still jealous too. my car almost made it. but the 3:42's held my car to 1.6x 60's and my stock/cut front springs didnt allow any seperation/weight transfer. ohwell. be a whole diff. story that engine in my Iroc one day.

the first two pics its not even squating 1/2 inch. that how low the car is. the others are old pics from when I had the road race setup. front and rear was on full loose to get it to hook. The last time out this year I changed the instant center to soften the hit on the tires and it finally worked but the clutch wouldn't hold

I try to keep my wheels down but usually carry them about 20 feet off the line with no wheelie bars.
