What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

[GearheadSS]

I went to the new Summit Racing store in Arlington yesterday and walked away with a whole list of stuff I want to get for this thing.  I've got new wheels in the garage so the first thing I'm going to do is order new tires this week for them.

You actually expect GM to still manufacture obscure parts like a window regulator slide 21 years later? 

[Jsdirt]

Ahh, yeah I guess it's been a while! '96 seems like yesterday to me. Hard to believe it's over 2 decades ago!  

 

Where the hell does the time go???

I had that problem with old cars. I found a cure, I started playing with old trucks and using LMC trucks among others.

I didn't do anything to the Camaro other than put an add for it for sale.

Damn great deal with there, Nick!

 

Speaking of that gen Camaro ... my buddy just took his '11 SS to a Euro dyno guy the other day, just to double check the work he had done. Guy says to him, "I'm betting on 450 at the wheels". My buddy says, "Alrighty, I think you're way off, but have at it".

 

He just got it back from Jannetty Racing in CT - had the supercharger pulley changed to a smaller one, since he wasn't making peak boost. They also found that the belt was slipping, so there was even less boost than they had thought. Boy, let me tell ya ... there's a BIG difference NOW!! 

 

Took me for a ride last weekend. We hit 125 MPH on the Mass Pike in SECONDS after leaving the on-ramp. Traffic is such a buzzkill. 

 

 

The Euro guys started laughing their asses off when they saw the numbers. Also mentioned that the tuning was SPOT-ON perfect! No surprise there. Jannetty knows their stuff!
