No, I was just doing rolling 1st gear burn-outs. I was getting some heat in them though....at 20 psi hot. At 28 psi, it's hopeless. The neighboorhood kids love my rolling burn-outs though

But that was a month ago. It's been sitting in the garage up on jackstands for the past month and won't come down until Tx

Getting ready for TX2K8 while car is stored:

I just recd my "Top Secret" tire/wheel combo today and Protomotive has
some goodies coming for me next week. Should be lots of fun, and I hope more
Porsche guys come, the more the better I say and we can all meet each other and go out for some Texas steaks and such.

But I didn't like running MT ET Streets everywhere. To be fair, I think any car making near 900 ft lbs of instant torque is going to have the same problem running low profile 18"s. The GT2 on 325 DR's hooked like a motherf*cker though from a slow roll.

why don't you just do 100mph punches....

Strange thing happened...I just got a check from Sean (Dr. Jitsu) for the road racing, transponder and the ULTIMATE Street Car Competition.

Sean, is there something you want to tell the community about yourself? Sending a HAPPILY MARRIED STRAIGHT MAN a check with that "memo", well, that simply raises questions about you my friend! Is there something you need to share with your extended family here at 6speed?

Paul, and all this time I thought you were going to keep quiet about the "Car Wash" business... Should it read "Sensual Wash" instead?
