Got it. My mechanic suggested I run against his 9 second Rousche/Yates 427 cu. in. 83 Mustang GT. I looked at him like he was crazy.

 

Run him starting at a 90mph roll

 

LOL! Yep, he'll be out of engine at 90 mph. He claims 140 mph at the end of the 1/4 mile. I'll give it a try in the spring. Does Michelin make a 285/35 R18 ZR Pilot Sport A/S? I checked Tire Rack. They listed it but said not available.

 

prob so.....check ebay out for tires....they are on the cheap end of tire stores

 

Ditto, checked the net and found my mechanic ripped me off. Same tire going for $295 but I paid $330/each.

 

Yea, the stores are in for makin extra cash....ebay you can get it cheaper 90% of the time

 

Discount Tire mounts them cheap and has a lifetime mount/balance.....45 bucks for 2 18's I just paid....

 

Yeah, you got a much better deal at Discount Tire. I was stuck in between a rock and hard place when my original tires went. The spare was already shredded by the original owner and the original lugs stripped...mechanic towed her to his garage. From there I should've speced out tire outlets and delivered the tire to him for mounting. Now I have a new "used" spare, new larger solid chrome lugs, and gorilla wrench...all thanks to info. from members of this forum.

 

now ya know....

 

You need to rematch this CLK55, Riski. I don't like to see this sort of stuff on the Internet.

he was only sprayin a 125 shot in it.....I didnt think he was gonna take off, I was doing a pre burnout show, you can hear me starting the burn out in there.....I so forgot about this video...

 

He CLK now is parked in the garage with a blown motor, sprayed it way too much

 

That vid was shot last year...Before Riski pullied, etc. And it turns out the 125 shot killed it in the end anyway. A CLK55 is a monster right out of the box: 470 hp @ 515 lb/ft torque, 4300 lbs.

 

yea she was bone stock back then....I did beat him from a roll and stop w/o the nitrous pretty good, and he pulled like 2 cars on me w/ the nitrous......now I would beat him all day long with the nitrous.....

i need to get to work on this meth kit

 

Run him (CLK55) for pinks...with his blown motor. Give him a 1300 ft advantage. You'll still beat him while pushes his car 40ft. to the finish.

 

Hehe. I was just trying to hustle you into upping some kill videos I know you have stashed.

I too have to begin driving with the Kodak Zi8 to film some adventures.

 

If I put a camera in the car I'd git me another 108 mph ticket. The NYS troopers are all mini Buford T. Justices's.

 

Is anybody running the Mina exhaust? If so what are your thoughts?

nice system but you still have to get an x pipe and get rid of that pig cooker stock resinator!

 

Tim! hi-flow cats, x-pipe, delete stock resonator if doing an x-pipe. I don't know if I'd invest in an expensive Mina system when ya can have same or better performance with a system half the price.
