You go right ahead and drool, just watch the paint.
Had the Firestorm out for testing this past Friday with F-Body Central at Capital Dragway in Crofton, MD. The track was prepped perfect and the MT ET Streets hooked like nobody's-business.
First pass of the day was an easy run which clocked in just a tenth under the car's all-time fastest 1/4mile.
On the day's second pass, I was nearing the 1/8th mile mark when the Tremec T5 transmission let go. This Spec Stage 4 clutch is brutal and gets the power just where it needs to be - given that your chosen gear can hold it - mine didn't.
This is our third transmission in 2005. Luckily an order was put in to James at Chesapeake Transmissions for a bullet proof 4L60e with manual valve body about a week ago. A 3600 to 4000 stall is currently being spec'd out by Chris at CCM Converters.
We’re fairly certain that with the changes we’ve made this year, the car is going to touch the FI V6 F-Body record if we can get it back to the track before the season ends.
I’ll have more news on the CTS-V later this afternoon, the boys brought it back from Atlanta in a new trailer, so I guess that's a good sign … It's 63’ long! It’s going to take a week to wax it!
