Awww that sucks! If it makes you feel better... after only have the car back for less than a month, my built transmission crapped on me! So the transmission was taken out on Thursday and right now is in route to Ohio for repair!

I have a Magnuson 2300 supercharger, I did have their 112 which is a small supercharger, but I liked the sound of that one when it got into boost better than the current one. What 1/4 mile times are you getting with your Stang? You running slicks?

14s on street tires at 100mph through 4th gear. I have a 3.55 rear end in it and a little computer work because it was my daily driver till I got my Jeep


My 57 GMC has a 4.60 rear axle and can pull a house down at an idle lol. 1st gear maxes out at 3mph @ 5500rpm lol. (It's a stick - 4 on the floor) and can get rolling w/out any throttle in 3rd gear lol. All stock w/a 347ci V8

What kind of car do you drive? You can't go posting a statement like that with out posting a photo? :cheer:


716 RWHP supercharged Corvette, grocery getter!





Filming with Jay Leno

Spike TV last year, this aired on a 2 day Christmas special



Evil tires

Evil tires being taught lesson


NICE!

I saw a show the other day where Jay Leno drove a Porche around Talladega at 170MPH. That guy can actually drive.

You got a link so we can see you on TV? :woohoo:


Thanks bro! Yeah, Leno is way cool, not to mention very humble

Here is promo video that was done last year BEFORE larger motor and supercharger was placed in car:


Here is quick video I made just a few weeks ago, this is after new motor and larger supercharger installed :woohoo: :evil:


And here is the Leno video, this was filmed and aired nearly 2 years ago:http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/smokin-vettes/1091203/

If you watch the Fast and Furious 4 movie you will see my car in there also! For a whooping 2 seconds! LMAO!!!


Thanks man.

Yeah, Leno seems like a cool guy. We don't get his show here, but from what I've seen he's cool.

I like playing Texas Hold'em, about once a month we have hard night over at my soon to be brother in laws place. Always good time.

Anyone else enjoy a good card game with friends?

I like playing golf, although I'm not all that good at it. Always a good excuse to get out with the guys and have a couple beers.

I'm with you, I'm not all that great at golf. My brother however is very good, he has been playing for years. I was just talking about wanting to get a set of clubs, but I have no time as it is!

I'm ok at golf, but I play a lot of hockey.

ewww golf. lol Sorry had too say it. My father in law loves playing golf. He is addicted to it. Before he retired, he would leave work on nice days to golf. My husband was also into golfing, but hasn't in awhile. Still has his clubs, in case he goes golfing with his father. My mother in law also golfs, but no where near as much as my FIL. The inlaws and my husband decided to go hit some balls one day. Of course I was dragged along and my MIL insisted I at least hit one ball. I did, and learned although I can hit the ball, it's best I do not golf (can I say this on the boards)... my boobs are in the way. lol :)
