What's the driveability issue? I thought the car was :fuckyeah:

Oh, it is. Just a few things.

With AC on, it idles at 1200. If you lug it below, the AC turns off and then cycles weird. Minor bucking at parking lot speeds (might be the cam). Rich at cold start, warm starts are a bit weird.

Nothing major, just minor things to try to iron out.

Interesting. Hope you get it all sorted!

Hilarious you guys jizzing over an 11 second car. And all that work, heads, cam, larger injectors, and tuning for only 11's.

Is there an age thread on this forum? I'm interested to see how old you kids are.

The dyno numbers are what I'm after, doe. I need to put that signature to rest.

I can't figure out how someone can do this troll thing while they go from forum to forum only to constantly get ostracized and outed. Every human wants to belong to something/somewhere. By now this dude must be pretty lonely and self conscious. Almost feel sorry for the :derp:

Drove the

to a friend's house on Saturday. On the way, it started rain...which wasn't even remotely forecast. :rage:

Just a 2-min downpour, and when it ended, I was on the highway and went :stig:

Infamous was :notsure:

but it was pretty crazy watching the CQuartz work it's magic. All the water just beaded up and flew off. By the time we arrived, the car looked perfectly clean. I was :mindblown:

It has been demanded that the Volt get this magic "wax" ASAP by Infamous. Time to order a bottle.

When it rains on the Brahhoe the water beads in big pools on the roof so when you brake all of it runs onto the windshield like somebody is up there with a bucket.

The CQuartz beading action really is :mindblown:

especially since it's been well over a year since I applied it. I was legit :rage:

when it started raining because I had just cleaned the car on Thursday. But water has to stick to form spots. 5/7 :fuckyeah:
