Without seeing it, it looks like they missed the mark by a mile, and I'm a big Speed Racer fan from way back when!

It was great! I'm a big Speed Racer fan, too. And it was VERY cartoonish... that's what made it cool and different. Everything was so obviously far-fetched... but like I said, that made it like no other movie I've seen.

The cast was perfect, too, for the parts.

I give it

Yeah, we purposely posed like that so Jed can photoshop you in.. really.
After the pizza joint, we cruised around the entire South Bay looking for an ice cream place that was still open (near midnight). Only place that took us in was Mickey-D, and they shut the lights off as soon as we ordered!

Ouch! $600 bones for a new screen? Someone should have bought the screen warranty.
Go easy on Matt, he's our POTR little rascal.

I was hoping for a setting like Batman Begins.. dark & serious. Or like Iron Man with a little comedy thrown in with the action.
I hope another Director takes this movie on in the future and remakes it, just like they did with Batman and The Hulk.

That blows. Just use it as an excuse to get the air Mac or whatever the hell it's called.

We know that if you could have been there you would have.

Ouch... sorry to hear about the LCD, bet it wasn't a fun day.

OK it wasn't just me that felt that ALL I did Saturday was either eat or drink....



LEO,
was the anything that shows a pic of the Saleen tensioner ?? Don't want the throw down 100 bones without seeing it. Probably post a ?? or two over on the "other" forums.

Thanks, but I'll pass.. any ducting off my modified trimmed shroud would look funny.

Nope haven't seen any pics of it. With that said if it's from Saleen I'd say it's pretty safe to say it's well made.

I think Leo's only a tenth or two off from getting into the 12's. With his customized track tune, less junk in the trunk, and both windows rolled up, he should make it!

Yup only a tenth off. Keep in mind Barona's also 1k plus elevation. Qualcomm is dam near sea level. So I may do better at Qualcomm assuming the track prep is halfway decent. Eitherway I'm sure the combo of the new tune and some weight loss (Getting 17" wheels for the front this weekend.) Difference between stock 17's and stock 18's is close to 20lbs a piece. That's not even taking into account that it's rotational mass so it's worth even more.

What's the narrowest tire you can put on those 17's?
May want to consider that if you're going for less weight.

Not sure. but the 17's I'm getting will have the stock 235/50/17 rubber on them already. BTW-Give me a call after 5 to remind me to weigh the stock spare, jack, etc.

I'm in. I'll be in town Saturday.

------------------------------------------------
The more I think about it seems like linelocks or a UCA will be my next mod. Maybe both. I happen to know someone with a UCA they're itching to get rid of.
