No i didnt break anything...but the car has such a minimal amount of improvement left in it the way she sits that i have no reason to run her again. It's been fun, and i've learned alot, and ive accomplished something to be proud of...so now I'm going to push the sale of the car and take it off insurance and all that jazz. So without further ado my last 4 passes in the car:

1st pass
60.....1.891
330....5.407
1/8....8.315
MPH...83.61
1000..10.827
1/4....12.940
MPH...106.85

330....5.414
1/8....8.332
MPH...83.55

1/8....8.276

i am sure at some point we will be able to influence j0n back to the track. it is easy to quit now, it will be hard to stay retired once the weather warms up again.
i still say you shoudl go back to teh track and see if you can find the 12.7 that you know is in it before you quit.

congrats on the new times!!!

He's got full exhaust, 4.10s, DRs and skinnies. I think he's got some tuning too, but I'm not sure.
