I am not sure if that was refering to me, but if it was, I wasn't talking about racing him. I am talking about just meeting up and saying hello. Unit is one of the few people in MI that's a car guy that I have never met in person after so many years. Hehe.

Ya I'd love to see the Unit vs the TT Gallardo.

Sounds like fun though Unit, I haven't had anyone run close to me yet on my bike. So sounds like you got a fun ride.

Oh and good call on those Hoosiers as well. What kind wheel are you gonna be running? Will a 17x10.5 fit with your SRA?

of the steam rollers:




I really dislike how the catback exhaust system looks with a IRS Cobra (above). It looks way better with a solid axle.

I didn't actually order the 3.55's yet. I'll just take the car up to my buddy's shop sometime soon and have them swap gears for me. I just don't like how short the 3.90 gear is. I liked winding out the gears more with the 3.55.

I have two 17x10.5 chrome '03 Cobra replica wheels on the way now.
This wheel/tire combo is supposed to fit like a glove with the SRA.
Guys with the IRS need to run a 3/8" or a 1/2" spacer. I should have
them mounted early next week some time. Hopefully I'll be able to cut
a 1.5 60' at least with them. We'll see.

Bike next to you busting a wheelie full throttle while you are full throttle would be a rush even if it was a lost. Damn I wish I could've scene it.

335's are a very proper sized tire. All business.
