I took three runs, getting slower each time. (Heat soak?) My first and best run was a 14.041@99.44. My 60' times are what's killing me because I'm not an experienced drag racer. Bogging off the line won't get it done.
The hood is a carbon fiber hood off of Stu Hayner's #5 GTO, which runs in the Speed GT series. They had to modify the race car's hood, so they sold the old one on ebay. I bought it. The car is in the body shop as we speak getting the hood's holes filled and the hood repainted. It will look much better.
I do not disagree with your opinion of the license plate bracket. That and the "Red Dragon" rubber floor mats are my 14-year-old son's contribution to the GTO. I caved on the bracket and mats, but absolutely REFUSED to apply any of the DECALS he suggested.
