People would rather race Go-Karts than their Performance cars? For shame lol. Speed zone could be fun I suppose.
Personally I'd get kinda bored with going in a straight line over and over again. But with Go-karts, you get to turn the steering wheel plus you can bump into people if they're in you're way lol jk

I've hear of the V6 driveshaft failures, but I've read that is something that happens around 130mph. Don't quote me though lol.

Anyways, Irwindale is only an 1/8 mile, so neither your V6 nor my GT will even break 100mph at that track lol. I wouldn't mind hitting the Go-Karts with some of you guys though, lets trade paint! haha

Seems to me the Friends of Steve McQueen car show on Saturday would be a decent event with plenty of interesting cars.

I was there for the 2012 (Bullitt theme) version, and it was well worth the time, travel, and the little bit of money.

I just don't trust the thing.. since my car is lowered, the pinion angle is changed too and I don't want to stress the DS. wont be doing any racing until either I get an adjustable UCA and/or one-piece DS. if that ever even happens lol.

meantime gokarting should be plenty o fun

and there was another guy behind the jetta in a c63 who gave me the thumbs up lol

I was hoping to save up for twins or a SC but the way work is looking for me
that may be on hold for a while.

how goes it with ya?
Right on man! The C63 owner knew who had the real power .

Are the Roush axlebacks really that great? I kinda regret not getting them when I bought my GT500 mufflers. I also deleted the resonators, so I doubt the Roush mufflers would worth putting on my car unless I went back to stock pipes. I've heard there's a lot of rasp after the resonators are removed. I might have to experiment lol.

Twins or a SC?! That would be a difficult decision for me. I'm going with a KB blower after I buy my Carillo rods and Manley pistons though.

You going to the Steve McQueen car show? I have friends who live close by, so I'll probably check it out.

Pearla is doing well. Every time I begin to hate her i look down at the 90mpg and it kinda makes it better. I'll be free after next weekend.

LOL yeah I heard them before i bought my mine on another stang and loved the sound. so when i got mine it was nothing but heaven. Honestly due to my neighbors being sound ***** i didnt want to get something too crazy since i do leave my house early for shows. they are perfect just as a axle back. i bet it would be alot louder with the res off but with them on, they are perfect when cruising and hella loud when you punch it, the snap crackle pop is a bonus.

yeah i really wanted to go twins but alot of people are doing it now, so far people who have had it done say it has better street manners than a sc but i would need to sit in and find out for myself. your smart man, i should do the same, beef up the internals and then you have less worry about stuff blowing up

Cant make it to the SMQ show, my Godson's 1st bday is that day so my cousin would kill me if i wasnt there lol
but if you do go take pics if you can
