Hell even the 500hp '07-'09 GT500's trapped High 11's with DR's.
well damn... time for a built motor, bigger fuel system and corn.... hahahaQuote:

The new ones were not poly but instead spherical. Like Daniel had mentioned, the shape of the control arm didn't make it any easier when trying to press out the bushings with the hydraulic press. Once we figured it out though, it wasn't AS bad. When we went to reinstall the control arms, we realized that the arrows stamped on the bushing were incorrect so we had to repeat the process again. Nothing went smooth that night unfortunately.
I wish we would just go ahead and sell it, but my dad "needs" it. All this coming from a man who doesn't leave the house so the car just sits in the garage. He refuses to pay for any of the maintenance as well as car care/cleaning. It's stupid. I have my own car now, so dumping more money into this thing is not my ideal situation, but he doesn't wanna get rid of it. Nothing I can really do about it, otherwise I would :\Quote:

Freeze them anyway. They will contract and it will be easier to press them in.
I'll remember that for next time.
Just a taste of what tommy, danny, and i did today. Thanks for the pics so far danny!

All is not lost!!!
Lingenfelter goes 11.03 @130 with their ZL1. Little bit of 109, slicks and skinnies, smaller pulley and an intake.
Maybe all isnt lost now that we're seeing some modded times come out......well except for your warranty :crazy:

I hate Camaro's but im hoping for it to be competitive with the GT500. Nothing like good ole fashion Ford vs. Chevy :goodjob:
As you can tell by now I didn't. Was going to come down but got side tracked. I think I'll come down next friday given the weather is nice. Next weekend is going to be busy...with the Mainstream meet on Saturday and IA on Sunday.Quote:

You must have not read the article where the ZL1 whooped the Boss 302's ass. The new suspension is awesome as shit. It looks like Chrysler will be the cheerleaders in the battle between Ford & Chevrolet. Obviously I would vote for Ford. I was behind a '13 Mustang yesterday. Looks pretty good.
Dbl post FTL.
Hahaha I read that article. The new mag. suspension is amazing but I am just regarding the trap speeds and street performance. To be honest......I dont see too many people buying tickets to ship their ZL1 over to the Nurburgring. The Boss is also 10K+ cheaper and a N/A 5.0L vs a 6.2L S/C. Not making excuses, just saying Motor Trend did not have their hands on the 2013 so they are just going with what they got. Im excited to see Chevy and Ford go head to head over the next few years :goodjob:Quote:

None of us have talked about it in a whole so I honestly have no idea. We'll probably bang it out Thursday or Friday night, typical of us.Quote:

Anyone one know what time IA is starting? Thinking we should set up a roll out time. Save rite worked out best last year so I think we should just meet there again and all do our own breakfast stuff. I haven't decided if im going to the pre meet or not.
I'm down with that!Quote:
