Ok so i jacked up the rear check the numbers spun the tires and they prove to be the "open" rear.

I decide to let her breathe a little in the driveway. and she lays down two 10" wide 1 foot long patches the same. Now i think maybe its a fluke, and try it again different direction and same results?

How do i find out if they Shimmed the rear? or am i just seeing pure luck with the two tests?

any help?

Brian,
If both rear tires have exactly the same amount of traction, or pretty close to it, then they both will spin, even with an open rear.

Brian- Have you tested it out on the road yet? How about some new progress pictures.

nothing new so far. Have to get windshield installed and wire up the headlights and tail lights. then the big thing "fan shroud" for cooling. I ran into some time restrictions. Work and school both dont give me "camaro time".

But i will have more progress pics soon. maybe a vid if i can get a safe place that i can do the vid with out trouble. More or less for the sound and to see how she moves on tape.

Thanks for asking It's nice to be so close you can taste it. but far enough you cant touch the plate. LOL
