I probably will. I will have 4.10 gears, tubular k member with drag springs, and 100 shot by then. I don't plan on driving the gto this time. If it breaks again it no one will be able to say it was my fault.

I could probably make it and I bet I can sway few other cobra owners around here to show up as well. Sounds like fun. I'm supposed to be going to Daytona in Sept. anyway. That sounds like a good way to start the trip.

Do you think they will do some qualifying rounds and actually put up a ladder like the used to do at the old Mustang vs. Grand National shootouts? That would be pretty cool. Post this up in the Terminator section as well. You might get a few more interested parties.

I didn't say that. The way it broke I think it was defective from the factory. Something in between the pinion and the drivshaft is what broke, and usually if you break something in a irs it is the halfshafts. My launches were perfect with no wheel hop and it broke on a 3-4 shift.

We will definitely have to mark this one down on the calendar. I will talk to Alan as well.

I think maybe the 525 rwhp finally caught up to it. Chris did drive it hard all the time! Is it all fixed with beefier parts?

Just bought a stock rearend. It is supposed to be here any day.


Drive Shaft Shop was making the 8.8 swap. They kept saying all the parts are made except for the brackets. They kept telling me call back in a week. I called 6 weeks straight then they told me that it would be available last wednesday. I called on wednesday to order and they told me the brackets still arent made. Then they were rude to me and told me not to call back. They said check the website from now on. They lost a sale on a $3500 kit. I guess we will wait and see what else comes out.

DiifTecniques makes a Stub to Hub kit for the car now which is very strong. Check out the GTO website.

Hey Doc, let me know the exact date as soon as you can. I doesn't sound like it's set in stone yet. As soon as I know, I will plan my Daytona trip around it. I didn't get to make the last race you invited me to. Car was broke. It still is kind of. Have to replace a bad lifter and then I'll be back up and running. This one sounds like alot of fun and I've got 3 or 4 other guys right now interested in going.
