Didn't bounce off it for that long. Hell I think I hit the limiter once and it shut down on me.

No it was more than once, I was standing right there. It didn't go into limp mode the rest of the night and you didn't do a burn out on the limiter the rest of the night. Makes perfect sense to me.

On that run he did his burnout in first gear bouncing it off the rev limiter the whole time. The car went into safe mode or something to protect itself. Once he went back to the pits, turned it off and turned it back on it was fine.

It's a parody video and meant to be funny. Nic got one too, relax.

No, it did it at least 3 or 4 times at least. It was very loud, everyone along the fence heard it. You may not have heard it cuz you were concentrating on something else and/or nervous. No big deal, thankfully the car was fine.

One thing I thought was cool for everyone that stuck around all night.

The official at the track was really impressed with how many "DFW5.0" cars he saw.

Told us the next time we brought that many cars out he would give us a discount.

I as a member thought that was a great accomplishment for the club.

It's cool, I'll take over now.

EABOD!!!

Next time I go down there I am getting my vert weighed. I'm just curious what it actually weighs.

It lived on the rev limiter that burnout jeff.. guess you did not see me waiving my hands to quit...

Jeff, call the shop and lets setup a time for you to bring it by and scale it. We usually have good access to a set of corner scales. We will tell you the exact weight at each wheel. I think you are going to be disappointed...

**saunupe1911** · 08-19-2013, 01:42 PM

The video was funny but I could have sworn Jeff ran 12.3 on one of his last runs for the night. I was in the stands watching and said to myself nice run Jeff. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

Nope I didn't see you. And disappointed in what? The weight?

Yes I ran a 12.3 with me shifting like a pussy cause one run I miss third and that run I made sure to get it in third. Clint ran a 11.8 with my car also.

My car weighed in at 3790# with me in the car. Without me in the car scaled showed 3620#.

This was with ONLY the factory strut tower brace removed, 3/4 tank of 93, full Brembo wheels and tires, with heavier rear tires (not much) and the trunk/interior cleaned of any loose items.

Without a doubt the strut tower brace would've put my total with me over 3800#.

Jeff, there is no way your car weights that much more than anyone else. That is approaching gutted Slowmaro territory. Lol
