Default Painrace Z06 arrives at Katech
She's safe and sound Jim. After the transformation it will be a different animal.





I realized today I will now have a red Z06 taunting me every day. This is torture!

I'll research that and get back to you.



Am I known as the burnout king ever since the American Muscle Car episode?

I started at 16 years old. Here I am doing a burnout on my Honda 305 SuperHawk back in the early 60s, just before I raced a SuperBee.

Later with my 405 HP turbo CBX

Too old for burnouts now.

Jim

That's awesome, Painrace - can't wait to hear about how much the beast gets woken up with the "Katech Special." Sweeet!

Jason,

I spoke with Jim and he was too busy to call you........he told me he doesn't like it sitting around too much and that you should drive it as often as possible. He also mentioned not to keep the tach below 6000rpms. He is in no hurry to get it back so keep it for the summer if you'd like. Please don't make his faster than mine!

Jim....you're in for a real treat...good luck getting back!


Mike

I think it is one of the fastest cars in the world, like Bugattilano or something like that Veyronica?
