Any car can fly. Sure. A 4000lb FWD car is about as far from ideal as it gets. I was enamored with the 1995 Impala SS and kept breaking shit because we wanted it to be a high 11 second daily driven car. She was too fat to fly.

I would've preferred a sportsman tree on that day actually. I just didn't want anybody to try to punk me and say I red-lighted. In most cases the 'get ready, get set, go' lights on the sportsman tree really help a guy get the launch right without making him look stupid or that he's 'sleeping at the lights.'

I even lowered the nitrous activation RPM to 1800rpm and tried to pedal the car out of the hole (relying only on the WOT function to activate) but I just couldn't make anything good happen.

If the dry track and warm bottle doesn't push the car into the mid to low 9s I'm going to add a second stage of giggle juice...thankfully I have all the parts sitting around.

You know what I'm saying! I was laying out some twisted burnouts. Putting those Michelin Pilots to work...thinking I could show the guys how to roast $900 worth of tires the right way...and she couldn't even get it on film? Whore! She needs some theme music...2bmurderedby.
