Raven's kit looks perfect on the car... one of very few body kits I actually like. and he ran 11.5 last personal best I think.

yea but points could be deducted off non attractive looking rims (all based on judges preference) Most shows are for bling pretty, and out of ordinary. the street cars which want the lightest possible would go with the others since looks are not important.
and yes I know oil still breaks down over time regardless of mileage.

well if you take your car to get changed, they probably reset it for you so you would never see it, lmao

Mobil 1 5W-30 in the Bu... I've used it for 30+ years now in numerous vehicles with only one catch, had to go to 20W50 in the 73 Olds cause it was getting old and loose. Never a problem, even with high mileage changes.
