On Wednesday, I traded my Trans Am for this:

and a pile of cash. I am trying to sell anything in my house that I might not need to get myself in a position to first pay for this thing and then run it - I don't even have a trailer at the moment though I know where I can borrow one for now.

In the video, I left the radio on at a normal listening level to try to give a contrast.

Thanks to you guys...

(Mods - if you move this then I understand. I just wanted to post this where those guys might see it.)

 

That's a really cool thing to have in your garage, Keith. Good luck with funding it and racing it.

 

If I am dreaming, please do not wake me up.

 

Thanks keith, got the bumpsteer kit. Great seller here guys. Had a last minute concern with the wrong address and he was on top of it b4 it left ups. He corrected the address, which was paypals fault not his, and it got to me quicker than I expected. Thanks again bro, nice toy by the way. What kind of power does that engine put out?

 

I am glad the bumpsteer kit made it even with the wobble. I wasn't convinced.

The previous owner of the car didn't have alot of information for me but he said that it should make around 430hp. I have no idea but it sure seems responsive to throttle blips. The first event that I run that has a dyno, I plan to dyno it just so I know.

It looks like I will be putting it on a road course this coming Saturday, unless something pops up and prevents it. We'll see.

 

Sweet, take some video of it tearin up the turns for us. See if you can get some in-car footage!

 

I'll try to get some in-car next Saturday - I am going to try to put it on the track (weather and work permitting). I have an old camera mount from when I was racing a Firebird but I could never afford a camera. When it was down to only having money for a race tire versus a camera, I always bought the tire so no camera! Maybe I'll be able to rig up that crappy $100 camera I used to make the video at the link above - it's just my wife's cheapo Sony Cybershot? It probably won't work well but I will try. At a minimum, I'd like to get my laps times off it...

Should I make this happen, I'll post in the appropriate forum...
