How much street duty you going to see

Pros:
Reliable
Cheap
Predictable
Best power to the pavement action you can buy
No worry wheelstands

Cons:
Traction Around turns
Tire wear
Pushing it while turning is a bitch
Annoying squeeling around every turn


It will have to slip the tires everytime you go around a corner, or break something. Not good in the rain, because you will always have a wheel with no traction, sometimes both.

This is just my Opinion

Sounds like facts, not opinion dood!

Spools are great for a car that's going to see MORE Track Duty than it will see Street Duty. My car's got a spool in it. But I also won't be doing much more than 1,000 miles a year Street Driving I bet.

it's simple...

Street car - differential
Drag car - spool

I wouldn't want a spool in my own car if I HAD to drive it for transportation. besides a good differential will put two black marks as far as your motor will let it!

LOL, $hawn !! And possibly some brakes and trans of course, but thats already in the makings!!

Well this is a decision for sure, cause I dont drive this car as my daily driver, its just a toy to goof around in. Now I am thinking of doing some TNT nights at sunshine, my son/wifey had a good time at the TNT one night until that stoopid loud ass yellow farting faggy car started running, that thing was stoopid loud so I dont blame him for not liking that shit....

Im thinking im still gonna try it and see what happens, if I dont like it ,than well, I experianced it for myself and all of yall can say "see I told ya so!!!!" LOL



Thanks all for your opinions and facts....It helps me and might help the next person thinking about doing this


Now someone sell me your STUFF
