Then im living proof that's not true. The wind went right over the top of my head. If my rear hatch would have blown off you guys would have heard about it. Luckily it didn't.

Snakeskinner had to much power on the Slalom and overwhelmed the rears....both cars ram on Goodyear GS-CS tires...both 1.04 and 72.1 were records.

Pete I would think you have the best of both worlds with coilovers and good tires...
In addition to having S-compound Goodyears and sometimes race tires, Snake Skinner also weighed quite a bit less than a stock ZR-1 because it had a gutted interior, no A/C, no sound system, a Lexan hatch and a lightweight hood.

It was a fun car to drive, that's for sure!

My 90 build is a "streetskinner" no AC/no radio, etc....lexan hatch/carbon fiber stuff will not be in the budget but I will have 500+ hp ...I even have the proper Gen I dymags

Has anyone tried the X-brace and the Killebrew brace together? I may do this for the convertible.

The only way I've found is to first convert the table to a jpeg file and either attach it, or what looks the best is to scan it and upload it to your hosting site, and then inserting it as an "[IMG]".

Here's a VATS table sample that was first in Excel, scanned, posted and retrieved...



But, if there's a good way to avoid having to format it as a picture, then directly link it - all to avoid the rows and columns being distorted, I'm all ears!
