I'll be interested in how they hook up.

after the front bumper gets installed...

"IT'S COMING!!"

Um, can I get you a towel?


On another note, she's beautiful. We must have vids w/audio when it all comes (sorry) together!

:theman:

[It's A G8!]

I was wondering why the Sugarland Hospital was shaking.

[h34d]

Lookin good Charlie. I should be spending a lot of time in the Houston area in the near future so it looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do... good luck, hope she's back on the road soon. :thumbsup:

[GRRRR8]

Maiden voyage is scheduled for Sunday to break the converter in. My Plan is to cruise hwy 6 from 288 to Co. Rd 99. Maybe 4 trips. If anybody wants to hook up for lunch out that way we can have a mini get together if you like. Remember, NO RAIN or NO Charlie! lol

Eatin on the Roach Coach?? Hope you lubed the tires well with the tire grease I told you about!!

Ahh, the legendary "Roach Coaches". Its been a few years, but I did love them I wont lie. Now my colon on the other hand.......:poof:

[IateAn8]

Don't you need some power under the hood for those wheels/tires???

[GRRRR8]

Don't you need some power under the hood for those wheels/tires???

Well, since I use a Mustang engine as a starter motor I think it should be enough! :nah:

[Blackdevil77]

I can't wait to see that thing go. Charlie, we should have member's guess your time with all your mods like the show pass time on the speed channel. Closest time gets a GRRRR8 prize of some sort.

Thats a good idea!!!

[Blackdevil77]

i'm down for that. So how much did you say your car was making? Right now looking at your sig, im gonna guess 11.1 to 11 flatt. Maybe high 10's with a slight 1 second tail wind lol. unless im missing something...

Under 12.0 and over 11.20. That I know for sure!

[Blackdevil77]

Under 12.0 and over 11.20. That I know for sure!

Over 11.20? You dyno-ed the car right? I remember that turbo charged G8 running 11 flat but I think it had over 600 rwhp. You with that stall should make a HUGE difference. You should try gears. Change your final drive gear to like 3.57 or something.

[GRRRR8]

Not on the dyno yet, just got it running. Tuning is next and break in. the stall wil effect my dyno #s, but I never cared about dyno, only ET. It should be 475+ to the wheels. The TT car has a lot of TQ that helps propel the car. I can safely say mid 11s with ease.

[zosoboogie]

are those the same as mine MT ET Street 26x 11.50-17LT?

[GRRRR8]

Yes. I told you thats what I would be using. Did you get your issue fixed?

I would say so at least. Good place to be lol.

There are worse neighborhoods to be in. :)

[Blackdevil77]

Agreed. If im lucky and my mods take me to where I think/hope they take me, I should be not too far behind you.

its supposed to get cold again this weekend

OMG!!! IT'S COMING!!!!.....Wait.....wheres...the...bumper? LOL.

[jeppsG8]

If I take off my front bumper can I expect mid 11's ?

['02 ws6]

From the pics it looks like he has a bra on it....probably to hold 'dem nipples in place when he finally gets to drive it!:nah:

[G8GXP4now]

Charlie, if you would take a guess, besides some record, what will be the first thing to break on your car?

['02 ws6]

Uh oh bad juju talk right there G8GXP4now. I'll guess his neck from all the hardcore launches!!!

[GRRRR8]

Charlie, if you would take a guess, besides some record, what will be the first thing to break on your car?

Nothing! :) I would say if I had any concern it would be the transmission, but it shouldnt take more then 3 passes to achieve my goal. I am hoping to do it in one!

['02 ws6]

So what's your goal? 11.50s.....faster?
BlackBerry8830/4.2.2 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/104

[GRRRR8]

I will be happy with an 11.50 as that will be the N/A record for stock short block/cubes. I think I can go in the 40s though.

[99-LS1-SS]

I think you can hit 40's too. You might even touch 30's. I think the weight of the car will start to have an impact on the launch. Do you have drag shocks/springs? It's going to be hard to transfer the weight isn't it?

I think the frt/rears will have to be switched to coilovers so I can swap springs and set the chasis up to transfer easier, but if it will 60 ft in the 1.60s, it really comes down to it having the power to pull it through the big end. Once I can put in on the converter for some testing, I will know right then what its going to do.

[cobrakid]

11.68@115 is my guesstimate. guessing maybe 4140lbs on the starting line?
weather about 69* with decent humidity. ?

Good Luck ! car looks sweet and has the right stuff.

[99-LS1-SS]

If you 60' in the 1.60's with that tank, you'll be moving!

Probably closer to 4250 with me in it. My guess is very close to that! 11.58@117

[Devilish34]

Are those the lug nuts on the floor? If so how fast can she go without them?

[GRRRR8]

Those are for the 19s! :nah:

[r33pwrd]

I say we start a pool $5 each and guess your time... who ever get the closest get the $$$ :)

[BMR Sales]

Looks good, needs moar video!

[confused2much]

11.35 is my guess....start your diet now Charlie we need weight reduction!!!

[GRRRR8]

After I eat these 2 grilled stuft burritos! LMAO!

['02 ws6]

I'm guessing 11.55@118. You know you're only about a 100 shot from having the 1st 10sec G8! That outta get the creative juices flowing.:)

100 shot and two less burritos!

[GRRRR8]

100 shot and two less burritos!

100 shot maybe, 2 less burritos.............OK, 6 tacos instead!

[GeorgeInNePa]

If you 60' in the 1.60's with that tank, you'll be moving!

I was able to get into the high 1.7s with less power and a lower stall speed, on 18" DRs that I borrowed for 2 passes.

;)

I have no doubt that I can get low 1.7s or high 1.6s this year.

With his set-up, 1.6s should be a given.

[GRRRR8]

Since SS Enforcer is doing it with less tire it shouldnt be an issue.

Damn, now I want Mexican food...

[GRRRR8]

Damn, now I want Mexican food...

LOL! It didnt even come close to touching my Italian craving. I wonder how that happened!

[GeorgeInNePa]

Did you send your wife to the store with a shopping list?

[GRRRR8]

Did you send your wife to the store with a shopping list?

I forwarded it to her as soon as I saw it and might be having that Sunday! :woohoo:
