The rear end is the standard 3.08 although there was a factory 3.27 gear available. Mine has no TractionLok but I race with the AOD disengaged to make sure the car actually slows down when I lift!

The GrandMa, as my friends affectionately call it, has won slightly less than fifty percent of the Corvette's total. The only interesting piece on the car is the original factory aluminum intake manifold which was only available on the first production run of the '95s. I still have kids with 4.6 Mustangs come up to me at the track and ask if I made the manifold myself!

Best pass ever was 16.43/84.78 in -300 feet air but I run it with a loaded trunk and a full tank of gas so it can't spin even if it's on a frozen lake. Therefore, it's usually around 17.20 or so. I use Goodyear Eagle IIIs at 18 lbs which work well, too. Heck, a full gas tank adds 147 lbs!

Maybe Mr Dirt could re-print the article he penned on This is Bracket Racing.com for Luke Bogacki. My apoligies to Ed for hyjacking temporary his thread. Sorry. Claude

Daily driver now? Red 91 Chevy Silverado X cab pickup that I bought 12 years ago from Chuck Norton. Best money I ever spent on a toy. It has 210,000 miles on it, still runs, stops, looks and drives great. Tow vehicle is a 90 GMC Suburban 2500, 454, 400 trans, loaded, drives and looks great. Tows an open trailer and a Chevelle like its not there.The truck takes me five miles to the Covina Metrolink station where I catch the first morning train to downtown Los Angeles to work. I can't stand driving hardly at all anymore. Drives me nuts.('>')

DD is a '04 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab with the Hemi,,,will get 21 mpg, if I behave myself. Just retired the wife's '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee, with over 200,000 miles and replaced it with a new 2011 version, although this one has a V-6. These two are the only new vehicles I've ever bought in over 40 years of driving,,, also the only Mopars as I've always been a Chevy guy,,,but my 454 Suburban was just too costly,,, still race a '68 Nova though.

I have a '90 Suburban with a fresh 454 in it and the mileage is simply appalling for these gas prices. It laughs when I put a twenty in the tank. It will pull a house off it's foundation...
