Sexy car...

I need a blower...NEEEEEEED!

[JOES66FURY]

The cost is what puts me off....almost 6K from start to finish. I am just po' white trash..but a guy can dream.

Well, here I go to trash my already microchip man card....I just don't get burnouts. Yes, peewee just said that.

Yeah, that sound alone, and the smell, that's gotta be a blast. But I just couldn't do that the the G-Force tires I had to get for the speed run. Heck, they're already "guaranteed" for 30,000 miles, pro-rated of course. Sheesh.

Boiling the tires slows you down and wears the tires. Now, I DO still have the set of Nocka-Wocka-Moly cheap ass Japanese tires that were on Red when I bought him. I saved them, for just that purpose, someday. Heck yeah, burn 'em up, but don't go over 100 cause they might just fly apart.

I don't know very much, but it looked in the video like the dude was smoking the good ones. I just couldn't stand to do that. My conscience wouldn't allow it.

I have a 17 year old friend-girl that has a car that matches that one almost exactly, same wheels, painted black. Only difference is her taillights arent black and hers has a shelby badge on it. Her supercharger is by Roush. These 3v move pretty good.

Here's a BS project - somebody give me a pair of junkyard rims that'll fit Red, and somebody else bring me one of those gadgets that'll talk to Red's computer and turn the Traction Control off, and I'll have those Junk-a-Hunky tires mounted at the tire store and I'll go do a helluva burnout on video with Red. I think.

I can remember (not most living folks can) when Jeff Gordon won his first NASCAR race, he didn't know how to do a burnout afterward. He tried, but he screwed it up real good.

So he went to the Hendrick School of Burnout, wherever that is, ...remember money was no object, and he was real good at it when he won his second race.

Uh, I guess maybe I am confused.... why not just push the button that turns it off? Right there in the middle of the dash...

The three on the right - the center one is the button for the hazard lights. The right one is the indicator light for Pass Airbag Off, for when Spankie rides shotgun. The one on the left is a glued-on piece of plastic. No TRAC CNTRL OFF button to be found.

EDIT: Oops, forgot the pic. And it seems the upload a photo thing is not acting right....is it? It wants me to enter a URL for the image. That's not right is it?

Hearing that one gets me excited about my yellow stang being back on the road soon.

Is Sally an automatic Joe?

EDIT: I was theorizing that only the automatics got traction control but from a quick search it ain't so. Red just didn't get that when he was made. Yeah, it's a bummer alright, not having the switch.

But I really do like the traction control. Coming out of the hole balls-out the rear end goes D-D-D-D-D-D- D, grabbing every third of a second or so. You can hit second pretty hard and still feel it working. Yeah, those back ones would be spinning on the pavement otherwise. I like that. But it sure ain't a burnout done on a pair of back tires that I already hate.

The car gets pretty squirrly from time to time with it on...the first night I took it to the track I tried to make a pass with the TC off....lol, bad idea..dumped the clutch at 3500rpm and it just spun, ass end kicked out hard...supprised the poo out of me.
