Default I want to drive my car!!

Too bad its 0 degrees and a foot of snow and salt on the ground. Finally got my car back from getting its new trans (tko 600) I did drive it for about 100 miles last weekend and damn I cant believe how fast my car feels, raced a c6 corvette and beat it pretty bad, feels more like 360-370hp now. So its just sitting in the garage at home now. I dont even have the engine broken in let alone the trans and clutch. Hopefully my o/r shorty h pipe will be in so i can put that and the chin spoiler on. I didnt mind winter until i got my car, now i cant stand it. Anyone else feel this way.

cant wait until it gets warm.

i drive my car. its like 10 degrees here with salt on the road. as long as the salt isnt wet, it wont hurt the car as bad. just spray it off with some water ever 2 days or so. thats what i do. i plan on taking it out today too

Mines been sitting in the garage since the day i left for florida october 27th. Since i have a convertible for my beater, i might hold off a little before I pull it out. probably the end of april... im really in no hurry for some reason.

i was just looking at it and its dusty as hell but theres 700 coats of wax on it so it should just come off with a little wind.

Im sorry you cant drive it, but if I may give some advice.

QUIT FREAKING RACING PEOPLE IF YOUR CAR AND TRANNY ARENT BROKEN IN YET!

Not to be a dick, but why risk 6k worth of stuff :shrug:

lol I new someone was going to say something, it was just a third gear pull once i pulled a little i just put the clutch in and coasted. the tranny already had 500 miles on it, its just the clutch that needs proper break in. as long as I dont start from a dead stop and rip though the gears. trust im not about to ruin my 1200 dollar mcleod clutch... ohhhh man i would be so pissed.

but thanks for lookin out
