    I took the shadow out on Friday night< Colorado Springs has a huge gathering of cars on fri/sat nights, and also a big street racing scene, did some highway pulls against some of the Faster cars, showed all of them the rear bumper, and did 3 races from a 20 roll, the shadow is 7/7 so far, I will post up some videos from the gopro.

    My old shadow use to REALLY surprise the street racing crowd. Most people had no idea what it was. Jaws really dropped when I told them I was running 20psi!

    To surprise those who'd style themselves as the street racing crowd around here, you'd probably just need something with fresh plugs and an oil change.

    Wow, i can see why you were surprised. I was guessing that was a mid-low 12 car based on what i had heard and watching the last vid you posted... What slicks?

    Looks like a VR4 to me. He was moving pretty good too, but maybe not enough to need 4 slicks.

    How much boost were you running?

    yes, auto now. 26psi is all that turbo will do on the 2.5, it was a 3000 gt vr4, the owner admitted to have over 25
    k into it, was looking to run low 11's, he had a better 60ft. and missed second and i blew past him

    I'm glad I swapped to an auto when I did, no missing gears for me.
    Love the build, true TD fashion!
    Are you running .91 transfer gears?
