Re: So Cal dyno day - how was it? ('98 Six Speed)
So Cal Dyno day was super. Think Joel had the hightest RWHP of the cars that ran. I'll let him devuldge the numbers. Food was great, people fun to talk to and the cars were fantastic!
I drove Joel's car there so did not get a chance to run mine... maybe next time. :)

*Monday*
Lloyd: "Sure, you can borrow my car while I'm outta town, but be extra careful while you're driving it"
Wife: "I PROmise"
*Saturday*
Lloyd: "I'm going to run an errand (fib) - gotta do something with the car"
Wife: "Can I go with you?"
Lloyd (reluctantly): "err....alright"
(later, at the Dyno)
Mr. Super Dyno Man: "Sir, do you use cheap gas in your car?
Lloyd: "Excuse...me?"
Mr. Super Dyno Man: "Well, it appears your car is *pinging* - you really ought to use better gas. It's a Sportscar, you know? What kind of gas do you use?"
Lloyd : "Hmm...usually Chevron or Mobil...always Super..."
*BLAM!* Lights go *ON*
(Lloyd looks at wife, in the corner, hiding)
Wife: "Well, I guess I *could* have put cheap gas in the car....(looking away)"
Mr. Super Dyno Man: "I guess that could explain the over 10HP variation on the same temperature and runs and the pinging*
