My MM True Street entry. Post them up!

Lol, I couldn't imagine what that feels like to drive.

Honestly, its pretty boring. lol It makes power at such low rpm that it doesn't have that "hit" that we all know and love. The only real excitement is when it breaks the tires loose, because it happens so smoothly that it catches you off guard, especially on a damp freeway. hahaha

That would be awesome!!!

I can imagine. It's got to move though when you hit it from a roll. Is there any speed you can get traction, or do you just have to moderate the traction via the accelerator pedal?

Traction isn't really an issue, because the truck is super heavy (like 6500-7000lbs), and it spools relatively slow unless I intentionally build boost by standing on the brakes. It's just a little unpredictable when the turbo finally lights if the roads are wet or cold. Leaving at the track is a different story, because I'm still trying to figure out what psi. to launch at. Too little, and it bogs because it falls under the turbo, too much and it blows the tires off, even in 4wd. Its only been down the track three times, and I will say that drag racing is much harder than it looks. Every time I have lined up, I pushed thru the second set of staging bulbs and had to back 'er up like a jackass. lol

I'm still around, reeling from kid number one and kid number two due in 6 weeks or so. Back surgery had me down last year but I hope/expect to be "ok" to drive the car this year.

no clue how fast it is, but about 600bhp and no longer AWD. So it's quick on the highway.

Runflats, clutch replacement costs, and joy of speeds beyond 150mph = no plans to go to 1/4 mile track.

What, you mean Exedy doesn't make a $200 clutch kit for that car?
How much weight was gained from deleting the front drive? How much power do you suspect was gained after the reduction? Im assuming that it has to feel different with less rotating mass, or am I thinking incorrectly?

We should all post up our rides that will not be participating... make this a megathread

Until a date is set this whole thing is just fantasy bench racing. Pictures make it more fun!

The clutch is a bitch in this car.
Dropped 175lbs by dropping the AWD. It's significantly faster without AWD. It hangs with 600whp cars from a roll and makes things confusing the deeper into upper gears it goes.

I must have missed that part of the initial post.
