[1Fine69]

I have had these for a while just never got to post them. This motor was dynoed about a month a go on 87 octane. Many peopel say that it will gain more horse when run on 91. I wanted 550-600 but every 17 year old onyl wnats more more more. I ahve to keep reminding myself that its ALL ALUMINUM. Oh and new camera is coming...sorry

That is is BEATIFUL car man !! At 17 years of age, you're a lucky kid, that car is simply stunning, has a very nice stance. Those are great numbers and you should be everything BUT disappointed !! Looks to me like you have a dad thats deserves a big hug every morning you get out of bed

Be smart and drive it safely, try not to let the ease of impression get to you to much cuz its easy to make a mistake with that much power !!

Every second im out there so is he. he deserves more than a hug but i dont know what to give him. the satisfaction he gets from seeing me succeed is enoguh i think. he believe in me enough to give me 350 horse in the beginning when everyone told him he was crazy. im glad i proved everyone wrong. im working my way up the hp ladder and i do it carefully. i just cant wait to drive flash though! i picked up stick the first time i drove in a porsche so i dont think i will have any problems. thanks for the comment
