Battery drain problem has gotten even worse in the past two weeks...I'm talking her into just junking the damn thing and getting something newer.
That car was such a POS. I went with this girl and told her just about everything that was wrong with that car and she still bought it. I could even turn the ignition in that thing without the key.

I'm sure we have a couple handfuls of people that can hit 9s, but I would say there are fewer that can do it consistently. I'd love to see some of the big HP cars run next year.

Haha. Christine was fine when she first bought her, just started falling apart recently.

I need to get some seat time, but I'd like to get my trans issues straightened out first. There's definitely something wrong. When I got WOT I feel it slip and sometimes it doesn't want to shift out of 3rd.

Sad to think that those under powered cars were once the hottest thing out there and a sub 16 second quarter was fast. The L36 for the time period was a real strong V6. The whole family of engines always took well to modification especially when boosted. My sister had a 97 GTP, that thing was a sleeper.

either you ate up the pump/pump bushings or the clutch plates = fried.

time for a rebuild with better materials and bump up line pressures.

Nice!! I just want mid 10s and I'm not far from it. With a decent 60' I should be hitting the 10.9 range.
