There were no ¼ mile tracks in LA. I am going to an event in November ill let you know then. I'm not much of a drag racer I am an HPDE guy.

Edit: My build is far beyond my expectation. I was able to pass SMOG with my setup and that makes me happy!

I've never raced the car; even on the street. With this much power, and Nitto Invos, it's very traction limited. BTW, I have an identical combo to Mattie, with the exception of custom Trickflows.

I bet you feel proud of your accomplishments also .
if you ever decide to run them at the track, please stop by the performance section and add yourself to the C-5 quarter mile Quick List . Clicky . ...

Wow, nice guy... Does your feeling of self worth depend on your car's performance?

I'm just going to assume he's being nice. Running anything sub 2 minute at Autoclub Speedway is pretty impressive especially on C5 brakes and street tires.
