NO TIME SLIPS ON IT YET,BUT ITS A LOW 12'S CAR FOR SURE,I CALCULATED MY WEIGHT AFTER CUTTING/REMOVING METAL AND OTHER DEAD WEIGHT AND ITS ABOUT 3041 WITH OUT ME IN IT,AND 3151 WITH ME..YOU CAN IMAGINE 414HORSES AND 3000POUNDS OF CAR IS'NT THE EASYIST THING TO KEEP STRAIGHT BUT,IF YOU KNOW WHEN TO LET OFF AND GET BACK INTO IT U CAN GET HER GOING PRETTY GOOD!

YOU MAY WANNA TRY FRAME CONNECTORS TO KEP THE FRAME FROM TWISTING WHEN YOUR AT THE TRACK . I KNOW THAT CAR HAS A SIMILAR SET UP AS THE 69 - 81 CAMARO
