Yep I think it goes faster now that I have added a few MODs. The tow hitch should give a little extra weight in the back for traction. And now that I have removed the front bumpers, there should be less wind resistance. In addition, the front will now be lighter which should also give better traction to the rear wheels. These MODs should cut .00001 sec off my ET.

I also got the Ball Joint replaced, only problem there was a mechanic with dirty hands , took me a hr. to clean the front after he got done with it.

I would like to thank all those who have posted and remarked to post regarding removal of bumpers, and installation of tow hitches, over the past 4 years. I found there were many threads that helped me in these changes. Thank God for search.

Well ,what you have done will help but taking off the visors and the windshield wipers also will take a lot off your et.

The tennis ball on roof should shave an extra .0000034 secs off. It compensates for the weight of the driver, plus I believe it creates a slip stream which helps with wind turbulence. I've been thinking of adding one myself, but it's difficult to put the top down...

The car looks great.

A good detailing can shave off a few precious seconds also. Forget that it makes the Prowler look fantastic! LOL

But your Kat all ready looks great!
