Haha, while we're at it... If you're up to it, unbolt your rear seat... it only takes a few minutes to do.

i have raced him before from standstill, and from around 55 in 3rd , and i walked all 3 times, but the standstill he said he wasn't ready, and one we just kinda punched it not sure what gears or speed, but he said he missed 3rd which i know is true b/c i heard he rev limiter kick in, anyways we will see on friday for sure,

dang live2rice, does that mean my subs gotta come out too?? LOL, I was going to take the subs out, never thought about the spare, and i have a fullsize spare at that, definatly gotta take that out!

Yeh strip that thing down... hehe. Only if you really want to beat this guy and would do anything to beat him. You can take out other things, pass. seat, subs, etc.

If you want to go all out...strip down everything....remove all the sound deadning tar below the carpeting of the car and remove the a/c unit. but thats only if you're real handy around the car.

but thats extreme....get rid of your subs, tire, run your gas down to just enough, take out the back seats...hell the front passenger seat can go as well.
