I quit doing that because some were genuinely scared. Not that I screwed up the driving part but they had never ridden in a car with this much power, noise and speed. Scared them. Freaked me out too first time also. These cars are not for everyone. You have to know restraint or you will end up killing yourself. |

What type of front end did you use? I picked up a Chevy version (54) at auction and it has a Mustang II type with dropped spindles and it seems to have been well done but I wonder about using that on an old farm truck that I drive when I feel like it.
I'll chime in on the GS vette from Hellcat: GS is much more gentlemanly. I go back to Vettes after I've tried many others routinely: Roush mustangs, hellcats, Shelby Mustangs, Viper, etc. USA-1 with a Vette. |

Thanks. So sounds like a mustang II type (if done properly) is sufficient for an old farm truck. Mine has a small block (350) Chevy motor built by Phoenix Engine and all power rack/pinion/ disc brake kit running gear. I just thought front end seemed a little light.

I guess this kinda goes here lol. Wish we had video because no one will ever believe it, none of us that were in the truck are even sure we do lol...
We take off early yesterday and roll to the old folks bar to drink and bs with all the retired guys. By the time they are ready to close, 7pm lol, we are pretty wasted. My buddy who is a crazy man whore rides his scoot down and we put it in the back room and me, my wife, the girl with him, AND another buddy all pile in my truck to get home. On the way we decide to go to kc and party. My buddy is sober so off we go. His that second girl insists on running music from his phone through the radio blue tooth. Around garden city we are running 95 and the phone is cutting out. I pick it up and jokingly stick it out the sunroof to get signal. Remember I'm drunk. Ive got a fairly good grip but there was nothing I could do too keep it in my hand, bang bang it's gone. I look at him and say holy ****, I'm so sorry" he looks over and says all his route info was on it for work tomorrow. He proceeds to lock up the brakes at 90+ and right about the time we get stopped the phone comes flying back in the sunroof like someone threw it at us and lands back in the console. We all sat there in shock looking at each other, my buddy in the back seat yells "I told you guys we were supposed to do this tonight, we're making memories" and off we went. I have no ****ing idea what happened to that phone when it came out of my hand and while we realized it was gone and we needed to stop but it was ****ing nuts. |

Oh and I also bought an 03 1500 silverado extended cab z71 for 700 bucks sitting at the bar last night. Needs a set of tires and it has the rocker rot. 5.3 110k.
Went and drive it home this morning. |
