and on stock t-case too

just wanted to verify..
doesn't make sense to upgrade my t-case if you're managing without em.

always thought launching on the traction compound would damage something...being AWD and all.

Ahhhhh the sweet smell of VHT

Car looks very good and mean as hell w/ those wheels and the hoosiers

I really like them more than your other gloss black rims but that's just imo.

From the pics it does look a bit funky w/ the spacer on the front.....dare i say a bit FWDish jus playin.

If you ever get a sec i'd love to see a rear 3/4 pic to see how the rears look in regards to the fenders.....i guess you could always run a spacer in the rear.......

Good luck with the weather and hitting 150mph!

The car will still easily get 25+ mpg on the highway, no problem. I wouldn't be surprised to see closer to 30 mpg. You have to remember that the more efficient the engine becomes the easier it is to get killer fuel mileage. When the car is out of boost it's still just a 122 cu in 4 cylinder running down the road.

That's for you Dave on hitting your 150 mph goal w/ that car!

Looks like those wheels and QTP's did the trick.......1.5 60 ft

By the way what clutch do you have in this car now?
