That is awesome!

What oil were you running?

Did you get any CELs?

What fuel system do you have on your car??

Trailer was maybe 600 lbs. Probably less.

No codes. Car hardly knew anything was there. Filling it with people keeps the air pump busier.

Mobil 1 and stock with a BAP from the trilogy kit.

I run a dashdaq so I can monitor all the variables in a paranoid fashion. AC on max to cool us off. Spun like a top.

Never took it over 20mph to be safe.

One of kids in the car had an uncle (a firefighter) who died in 911. My sons friend. Made is extra awesome that he got to ride. :beer: A reporter was impressed with his enthusiasm, I think he's going to be in the local paper. Interviewed him as the car was rolling. :)

LOL. While I would love to pull the float with the Friday the 13th van, the poor float would have been invisible. People would be like, 'I think we're gunna need a bigger float.'

On the other hand I could simultaneously triage heat stroke cases and put half the school in there.

OMG I think I'm Tim Taylor. :banana::burnout:

BTW still doing stuff to it. Pics on themodness over the summer. :beer:

:burnout:No but I REALLY wanted too. :burnout::bigcry:

PS94 with special effects!

The judges are all military so they saluted when we stopped in front. It would have been a 2 tire salute!

I'd shred two tires for our troops!
