i made my own lowering kit out of a neon kit...but i'm using stock omni struts.. i didnt want to mess with my stock charger struts. and by ride nice i mean not bouncy as hell..and makes you smack your head off the roof.

my car has a/c, and has the vents, but not all the ducting. i tried to buy a blue on silver 83&1/2 from a local salvage yard for parts when i was in high school. that car had all the ducting in it still and factory cruise. it still had all the paperwork in it that showed it was ordered that way. unfourtantly the yard closed before i could make a deal for the car and it was sold to a scrapper at auction. i even tried to get him to sell me the parts i needed after the auction, but he wouldn't do it. whole car or nothing. and he wanted double his money for it!

That's no garage Todd. Can't be, there's a car in there. Marcus, that car looks fantastic. Now I don't care that it just rained on my recently washed car. It's not like that nice.

I had to follow the gnarly turbo pic above with my first time down the track in my 1$ rampage. 20.4 @ 69mph

So, what did you run in that thing?

[supercharged024]

You need to put some front drive rims on that car, they're sticking out way too far. #1 It's hard on the front wheel bearings and #2 If you look at your picture taking off under hard acceleration it's creating some massive toe-in which doesn't help your e.t.

[Ubmbass]

I dont think he cares.. he thinks it looks good lol

^the wheels are 13" "baby grand" rims/tires (mini NASCARs). they stick out from the offset. the alignment is out a bit, i can tell as i drive, but what your looking at in the picture is just camera angle. ive run these wheels all summer and it hasnt effected my wheel bearings..... yet
i think what REALY would have helped my time would have been some skinnys on the back instead of the big 205s, and not letting off the gas 3/4 of the way down would also help (EGTs were getting warm)
i ran a 12.76 @ 104.98mph. i still spun the slicks when comming off the line even after warming them. 11s for next season... if we still have a track in town next summer
heres a vid link... poor vette
