I sent an e-mail to the photographer to see how much a full quality pic will be, i'll be sure to post it up if i get it.
First time with my GT/CS on ET streets ! Car made 325whp&340wtq
with full exhaust (& LT's), C&L racer, cmdp's, driveshaft, tune and 4.10's. Car is full weight with LCA's and panhard. stock suspension and i do not have line locks so i could HARDLY get heat to them. When i tried to use my brakes to keep it going the stock LSD gave out to a one wheel peel : ( with a 1.9xx 60 ft spinning i still manages a 12.80 @ 108.75. Some line locks and some heat and lower pressure maybe i'll finally get that 12.5 i'm looking for with a 1.6ish 60 ft.

oh and BTW, if anyone is looking to paint stock wheels to match the GT/CS matte black front and rear bumpers - 'Plasti-kote low gloss' engine enamel is perfect !!

Ask for the high res file---not the photo. That way you can crop and edit, print the photo as much as you want.

Is your limited slip messed up or something? I dnt think I have ever had mine go from posi wheel spin to single tire frier before. You think maybe the fluid needs changed with some new friction modifier added?

I may be in need of a rebuild on my stock traction LOK. I think the clutch packs need to be replaced (probably with an extra clutch each side) to increase the locking load. Its never one wheel peeled except for with drag radials and while one the brakes. Line locks alone might be enough to allow both to spin again, the rear brakes are definitely just stressing the diff even more.


BullittBoy - Tire pressure was fairly high - about 17psi
