Face it man that's all they got, totally ignore em that makes them the maddest. It's usually one or the other car farts as loud as it can or turn up the volume on the ipod screaming look at me please. Car ricers are like bike rices are seen and not heard. This class of wheeled vehicles are invisible and uninteresting to me personally.

I laugh to myself when they buzz by as I roar down the road, buzz off from a stand still. Find it amusing they go in and out of the subdivision buzzing like a bumble-bee. Really put the buzz on when the garage is open. Yep they are fun to watch I will give em that. Like any clown show big people in a little car LMAO.

like a bumblebee
thats funny
they DO kinda soundlike a big horsefly.....

update

i did the math.

with the c-6 trans and 3.00 gear in the rear as well as 27" tires

1st 2.46-1

2nd 1,46-1

3rd 1.00-1

2000 rpm 53.55 mph

2500 rpm 67.00 mph

3000 rpm 80.00 mph

Cool Billyzz - I too am running a c-6 with a 3.0 gear so this is good info for me too! I went for this to keep the revs low on the highway. and hopefully get better gas milage!

20 mpg town 26 mpg hwy

kingpin update
i got me some oversized pins and i am glad i did.
the previous pins and bushings were installed 3000 miles ago with the bushings upside down.
thus no lubrication.
the spindles and axle holes were wallered out in an egg shape.
i had to machine down the parts to make everything square and then use all the shims provided with the new pins just to do one side!
luckily we were able to scare up more shims and thus were able to finish the job.
right now my steering is VERY stiff.
so i am forced to go cruising around the neighborhood making lots and lots of turns breaking it all in before our vacation cruise.
boohoo poor lil ole me.
forced to drive my toy even more than usual.

ya know?
the steering didnt seem sloppy to me at all.
it didnt wander on a crowned road or anything like that.
i didnt get speed wobble either.
but when i jacked the tires off the ground and got a 6 and 12 o-clock hold of it
there was an unacceptable amount of movement
maybe a half inch or a little more.
my spindles are worn as well but with the new pins installed i got the movement down to a 8th of an inch.

i am going to put 32" tires on the rear and put my current rears on the front.
my reasons are twofold
1 i like the bigger tire looks
2 keep my rpm's down and thus save some gas.

Are you still being "forced" to drive it? So as to break it in??? ROFL...
