Brah, I'll say this once and once only.
My stupid *** decided to (as soon as I got the Stillen SC in my car back when I had the red Z before any other mods was done to it)... I took that thing for a spin and dare I say ...

I went as crazy as going 140 MPH in the rain on the highway coming from an on ramp entering the freeway around 10 PM at night. I'll never forget that night. The tires slipped as soon as I gassed it and surprisingly caught traction the entire rest of the way -- and mind you the rain was pouring hard that night.

Long story short -- Supercharger was dry (:

Will I ever attempt that crazy feat again? HAIL NAWH!
Do I feel good about surviving it and was I lucky? HAIL YEAH!

And then there was the time I got “air” in my 1976 pinto with four of us in it.

One being my future wife. She still won’t let me live it down.
