I had a 69 (imagine that?) GTO Judge, 685 RWHP, all drag car, wouldn't turn worth a poop, unless you flat tracked it... for you younger ones, that would be old School drifting.

The rake of Chad's car reminds me of the GTO and my Mustang. Had the air shocks with the adjusting knob inside the car so you could dial up the pressure to really get the transfer of the torgue to the wheels better. And softer for the drives home if I wasn't trailering it. But if it started to rub I would increase the pressure and it would keep it from happing.

Nah... I could atleast get up to 15 or so, lol.

At 5k rpms I make the power of a stock S2000 at redline. Keep it in a high gear at a low rpm and replace the Mickeys with some street tires... I'll be good!
