ask anyone on this site that I have raced with. I will agree to do digs I just prefer rolls. I have all supporting suspension parts on my car for digs besides the right tires yet.

So he should upgrade that then, CORRECT? Like I said… doesn’t do shit about supporting mods. You need certain things to support the other, whats the sense of having a 400whp+ if you can’t use it?

Dude. Every single one of us has said that the TRUCKS are NOT the issue. It’s the CARS that people like ME have problems with.

How many times do I gotta repeat myself? Is that the only crutch you have to lean on when talking about domestics? Trucks? We get it. They are good.

If only the cars were as good as the trucks, then this wouldn’t be a thread.

I have to agree, even though tough rear-ends for those cars cost some serious coin.  
But to support the “supporting mods” thing, when I originally built my car in '07 I bought a set of DSS axles that will handle 500-600whp+ when I only make just over 200whp, spent the extra cash because I didn’t want to be one of those guys replacing Autozone axles when I want to run slicks and pound on my car.

Fuckin relax, you get so worked up its hillarious.

Basicly were saying.

A) You dont know how to launch your car you admit that  
B) You complain about launching breaking your rear end  
C) Instead of learning to drive with the power you had stock you…  
D) Put more money into your car for more power that you obviously don’t know how to handle instead of…  
E) Putting a solid rear end in your car, learning how to drive it and progressing from there

Pretty much your working ass backwards… You put money in your car because you want a fast car, most people aroun dhere dont give a fuck about rolls because pretty much anyone can mash the gas and slam gears at 30-40-60+ starting off…

You obviously well at least used to brag about getting numbers at the track and etc… you obviously want numbers to prove your car is fast…

You can get away the drag radials… but if you ever want to use slicks on your car your going to need that rear end because youll probably break it on slicks.

You pretty much worked yourself ass backwards in learning how to drive a performance car…
