Exceptional nice job! Kudos for your effort.

My only question is how do you handle someone that challenges your "SS" to a drag?

Turbo Time??

That's the Right Answer but ..... We don't all have the needed Calm Brain Response Functions....

Yesterday I had a wise guy in a Subaru 2dr.with a rear air spoiler pull up to me at a stop lite and start revving his crappy sounding Subaru motor.
I just sat there calmly "not looking at him" and when the light turned I took off normal while he dropped back a bit and then romped it up to me.
As he did it the second time I hit it just as he started to back off again and completely walked away from him to 50mph in town. He just stayed back the rest of the way until I turned off.
The secret is to lure them in and then hit it at the right moment and quickly let off while your AHEAD.
Now if it is a" Muscle Car" then your original plan Works Best.......

Yes, the SS red/black seat has the power features and my 11 Panel already had the proper plug so I gained power drivers seat!. The seats are firmer and more "bucket' to keep you in place....

I did not explore the need for rear discs.... I have 16k into this already, and it stops just fine like it is. Years from now if it needs rear brakes, I may look into it, but I have many cars to drive so this will be more for occasional car shows or summer crusin... Just fulfilled my desire to own another great looking Red Panel with SS features..
