I'm about 6.25 according to the above formula.

But I thought the ratio was power/weight??????

So far, the expected finish results are:
1) Longboarder (6.8)
2) Sick335 (7.1)
3) Xtyper (7.3)

Shoot, I'm last!!!

I say you dont even show up, why embarrass yourself like that?...

Looks like I have about a week to narrow down my issue. Had a Service Engine Light pop up, but it was otherwise running fine. Started noticing some trembling on startups, especially cold. Today it was really bad, just "wob wob wob wob". Went to read the codes, I know there were 2, but I accidentally cleared them. Restarted the car, it was fine. Didn't really think it was that warmed up, but I figured I wouldn't be able to replicate until letting it sit for awhile. Took it out for a drive, again it was fine, but the Service Engine Light popped back on, but went away. No codes, started it up 1.5 hours later, no problem and no codes.

Close. What do we all love almost as much as naked strippers, and in some cases more?

Good luck guys! Really looking forward to seeing the videos.

Well, I'm particular to 18-year old Brazilian girls.

But I'm guessing....ummmmm a few grams of MDMA or a big bag of 7 leaf chronic?

Dayum what did you make on the dyno SAE??

power/weight would give you a fraction which I suck at fractions so I reversed it.

Adam secrets are worth keeping at least until the event.

Just a guess but 3,500 + 225 = 3,725/6.25 = 596 RWHP SAE

This is a spare set just for track days, lightweight 17s with DRs, you presumed correct! Looks like i can keep my left leg after all...

Sick335 · 11-03-2012, 09:07 PM

And when my streets are bald, i'll be going with same tires as you... Nitto 555s aren't doing too well...

Feeling pretty confident aiming them so far back

Wedge1967 · 11-04-2012, 08:05 PM

haha, he still has the one front facing to see me pull away.

BTW, I'm headed out Thursday morning and will be at FFTEC Friday morning. As soon as they get everything wrapped up, I'll be headed down to the hotel for the drivers meeting. Look forward to catching up with everyone then.

Sick335 · 11-04-2012, 08:30 PM

You'll be able to see me in that Go Pro pretty good
