Hi guys,

This is my first forum attempt. I own an 81 Grand Prix that I've put a few bucks into. My friends have nick named it the Pink Panther. The specs are in my signature. I love cruising around town, hitting the local car show once in a while, dusting off unsuspecting new sports cars, and drag racing at the track.

Hi there! Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have a great set up! What are your ET's? Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Thanks.

I've posted some pics on the photo board. Like I said this is my first time on a forum though. I thought it would show up in my profile. I'll figure it out.

I just ran a 12.45 with a 1.9 60'. a couple of weeks ago, but I know I have a lot more potential than that. I had trouble with my carb and my rear suspension. A friend of mine totally rebuilt the carb and we had to dial it in. We ran out of time before it was optimized, but next time it will be good to go. The rear suspension however needs serious help. The guy who owned the car before me had some type of extentions bolted to the upper arms. It totally does not work. It keeps the car from squating, and I get no weight transfer. That will all be different next time I'm at the track.
I just ordered UMI upper and lower arms, solid motor mounts, and I am going to pick up Poly body mounts too. Should be in the 11's next time.
