One man's junk is another man's treasure. Love the stance Vince...

[Gitter Dun]

What you up to Vince? It's too soon to expose the test car.

[Ron.in.SoCal]

What's up, Gae? You two doin' skunkwerks over there?

[Gitter Dun]

I should probably wait for Vince to respond. Looks like he got the wing on though....

[MrQuick]

haa haa yeah this is Geatano's thrash car for next years TTA's.


ooops, LOL I forgot to delete that....like the photo of Zbugger and a gang of trannies.

[Flash68]

Vince, that's the Bird I was talking to you about that I saw in your old shop! Looks sick bro.

TTA's or which ever group has the most cars. Hoosier has a great contingency program with NASA Time Trials and the more cars in that race group the better the spoils. Its gonna be fun testing and tuning that thing. Hey Vince, are we ready to talk about suspension yet? I will say at this point Vince is working on a custom subframe and IRS for this car.

No wonder your wife's giving you a hard time! For that I'd skip SEMA this year too...:)

LOL, your funny. Yeah, looks like the opportunity to run with the big dogs slipped by. I will say though, I will be headed to Spring Mountain next season on 200 tread wear tires to see how my lap times would have compared.

:cool: when you picking a pit crew! that's some nice Junk

Well now Gae, there you go and did it. Spill the beans in the IRS rear, please? I've been researching this for four months now and I have more respect than ever for the guys that are doing it. The topic could merit it's own thread...

[zbugger]

Nothing to see here. Move along now children.

[Ron.in.SoCal]

Don't make me fly up there Allen...:)

[formula]

I will trade you your junk for my junk. That's....

-1 set 2nd gen upper a-arms
-1 trashed saginaw 4 speed
-1 chevrolet 350
-2 factory front seats

YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT DEAL!!

[Gitter Dun]

Yeah, sorry Ron, this one's gonna stay under wraps until it gets figured out. Vince has the IRS, its just gonna take a little more time. As soon as he gets time and once fabrication has been figured then will see. The boys at DreamSpeed Motors have a few tricks up their sleeve. Hell, I dont even want to expose what they did with my leaf spring set up.

[Ron.in.SoCal]

I understand buddy. Just giving you three a hard time. Somehow I'll quench my thirst on this subject...

[Flash68]

Don't make me fly up there Allen...:)

Don't worry Ron... I'm supposed to take my car over to see Vince here soon... I'll get some undercover shots for TMZ and pass them along.

[MrQuick]

no no no, come on guys, this is getting a standard four bar...."waves hand at screen for Jedi mind trick effect".....these aren't the droids you are looking for.....

next thing you know it will be getting a Carbon Fiber roof and front end. Geeeeze

[John Wright]

Be careful foolin around with those IRS boyz....they mean bizniz.....<looking out the window at the black helicopters hovering overhead and the black suburbans streaming into the parkng lot>

As funny/fun as this thread is, in all seriousness the 'Gaetano/Dreamspeed Leaf Spring Mystique' will be gone forever once he gets behind the wheel of that bad boy. I, for one, will be sorry to see that day come...

[Gitter Dun]

Ohhh no, the day I quit driving the leaf spring set up is the day I run up against some 3 and 4 link set ups with some respected drivers behind the wheel. Once those curiosities have been satisfied then maybe, maybe, big maybe.......Hell, truth is my car is fun as hell to drive, can't imagine putting her in moth balls, lol.

I hope so, but what happens when you beat your own time?? :drive:

[Gitter Dun]

I hope so, but what happens when you beat your own time?? :drive:

Hmmm......I sure would hate to see that happen. Having a fast old school set up is kind of my trademark right now.

What do you think about me widening the car for some fat gummies front and rear? Think that takes away from the old school theme?

Who's to say it wouldn't be one of the MSP Fab guys beating his time?

I personally don't think that takes away from the O.G. theme. Just keep the leafs and similar tires size ratio fr/rr...

Gae's ego won't allow it. In fact, if you try it and fail I'm sure Gae will post his lap time and track config at 20 times....:attn:

(just kiddin' Gae)
