Geee thanks!!!
The problem here is I just got the Vbox and i was set to go out on Sunday and do it but the Police were everywhere for some reason, I was supposed to race a Z06 on the roll and it didnt happen for over an hour. It didnt happen for the reason writen below.
"
Anti 'stunt' law is clear, effective
There have been some unfounded and irrational concerns expressed about Ontario's new anti-street racing law. It's time to add some common sense to the discussion.
Under the new law, you can receive serious fines and have your vehicle and licence taken away for seven days if you are caught driving more than 50 km/h or stunt driving.
It allows police to take excessively speeding drivers off the road immediately, just as drinking and driving legislation permits them to immediately suspend the licences of drunk drivers.
In other words, it provides a deterrent by delivering immediate and meaningful consequences for extremely dangerous driving – the sort of driving no rational person would engage in. How could anyone object to that?
This is not about "profiling" or collecting bigger fines. It is about road safety.
Ontario has one of the lowest highway fatality rates in North America. Unfortunately, this enviable distinction is jeopardized by a disturbing increase in drivers who think highways are racetracks, and who demonstrate a flagrant disregard for the rules of the road.
Combating this troubling trend requires progressive and effective solutions. This clear and simple law is exactly that."
See my problem!!!
hope i can do this soon.

Technically it can be done. With your mods, it usually it only takes about 1000' to do it. That gives you 320ft to get to 35mph at the start? or just do a 2 shifter... Shouldn't need that much runoff, your already at 130 or so...

TT boy is right, I was going to say that you were just at the track running some awesome 1/4 mile times. This is where we do our 60-130 times, at Lonestar Motorpark. YOu have plenty of power to hit 130 and shut her down.

I refuse to open a facebook account. Have never had a MySpace either. Guess I'm too old. I figure if it's something where my 15 and 14 year old daughters spend most of the day, it must not be for me.
Also, all the guys I know who are on FB say they get tracked down by old girlfriends. If that's the case I'm headed as far away from Facebook as possible.

A couple of exes tracked me down. It's been cool so far. My wife actually digs one of them and we sometimes hang with her and her hubby. He's a gear head too, he's into turbo miatas.

We actually met one of these "girlfriends" for lunch at the Grove in LA and she turned out to be a religious nut with one of those ankle length dresses from "Big Love". When she found out I was an atheist (I usually keep it to myself but couldn't help it), lunch ended abruptly. That's FB for ya!
