Oh no way!That was you with the Bonne? I was there with my friend Paul with the GTP, im not sure if we exchanged names, im Matt.
Your car pulls pretty good I watched a few of your runs. If you want some better 60' times you should consider getting a tighter suspension system, as your car squats really hard for the first 60'. Beautiful car tho!

How about those spring clamps, but instead of clamping them together turn them around to keep space between a couple loops. I have a couple pairs around here and had been considering doing that at the track.

I don't doubt the rear squats, I was more interested in seeing how it would do in street trim but maybe next time I'll try some rubber spring blocks.
Thanks for the complement on the car, unfortunately someone put a 4 " scrape in the driver'* door yesterday
Cheers,

And holy crap you said 14.6???????
With just CAI and 3.5" pulley I think that may be one of the fastest per-mod Bonnevilles around...........
