Thanks for all the compliments!

-The first picture was taken at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven Michigan. It was a SpeedTrailsUSA event.
-The car has never seen a dyno, never will.
-And yes Aaron I am driving it like it was meant to be driven, not drag racing a GTO ViperGTSR. Its quick, but only fast through corners :)

Not that interested in numbers, how does it perform is what I am interested in. Made some suspension upgrades this spring, ready to test them out on the track now. Its all suspension from here on out anyways. Its not a drag car by any means, road course only.
