Vince, I'm pretty sure we get 5 not 4 20/25 minute sessions at Buttonwillow. I will take you out with me 1st couple sessions.

I will post new pics Monday night, thats when car gets back from paint. Originally was gonna have him paint front clip only, but when I went to go pick it up, the difference was too extreme, so I told him to keep it and paint rest of car. Originally Posted by John Wright

Nice choice in wheels. I have only had a few new parts show up on my doorstep, I can't imagine how exciting it would be to have that group of parts show up over a period of a few days.

pro-touring.com lays a beat-down on the wallet doesn't it
That motor is going to be uber nasty. What tires are you going to run now?
Really excited to see your car in action. Don't break it, I want to see that thing work! NCRC has Thunderhill Friday June 25th...I'm thinking about taking that day off.

Matt, there is a car show up here June 13th, you should come up. By the way, love the vette. It was pretty funny walking through the lobby of the Fairmont with a flex plate in hand. Originally Posted by FadedSS
