Powertrain is sending me a new driveshaft today, so ill get to test out another one of their shafts at the track, this one better hold or im gonna feel like an asshole breaking 2 times without even getting one run in. well, enjoy the pics while still in the car: pics after its out: THE POWER SUPPLY 516-993-0655 Chris aim=ylwttz 1990 custom yellow stage X TT --best 1/4 time= 12.6 @ 118 1990 2+2 stage 4+ (sold) --best 1/4 time=15.0 @ 92 w/ 2.26 60ft
