I couldnt beleive how hard the 4.10's pull on the highway. 2 rice burners decided to play with me on the highway last nite. Was funny they were at full throttle thinking they were beating me.....so I dropped it down to 3rd gear at about 50 mph caught up to them stayed on throttle enough to stay with them .........waved to them.....then floored it and the car jumped forward and I was gone doing 130 in top of 4th gear then let off and watched them pass me still floring their cars LOL!!

It was nice to meet you Wayne as well as your friend Dale on saturday. So I guess you decided to go with the clutch as well, while you are there? I'm so excited to see what that package will make with the LG headers.

Re: Cartek's got the vert (my00c5)
Hey Bob, This is not the Z package like I thought they were
doing originally. Dave said it is 6 weeks away but what I
have is very close to the Z package. I guess it's an X almost
a Z package. I'll be in Jersey around 10 AM tomorrow to
pick it up. So far I guess you have the only Z car to date
since you have the prototype.
