Default It's here....

A present came in the truck today. :cheers:

:D :D

:jester


I'll have a full report later (and pictures and other info in the KOTH <g>).... but DAMN. This is bar none the scariest car I've ever tried to go WOT with. I also can take 90 deg corners at 40 MPH (probably faster, but just learning the car). The brakes would throw someone through the windsheild if used while not wearing safety belts <g>.... and finally did I mention .... DAMN ITS FAST.... and I haven't even romped on it (the tires give way too quickly to go WOT in anything less than 4th - in 4th they still spin alot but at least I'm still pointed down the road :D )

I don't think I'll be needing headers or NOS anytime soon

Just curious, you have F50 brakes? Not F40?

Is there a difference?

Actually I should change that - it's a Brembo 13.1" rotors with F40 calipers up front and 12.9" in back with Lotus calipers. Whatever it is, it works ... although I obviously haven't had it on the track yet.

Chris, congratulations on the delivery! I know you've been waiting for what seems like forever. Can't wait to see the ride on one of our PNW cruises, or whenever. Tell you what; I'll race you...in reverse. That way I stand a fighting chance.
Take care,
:chevy
