although I have no dog in this fight,I believe that as forum members we all have the right to answer posts that are directed to us.I also feel that we do not have the right to answer posts for other members,unless of course it is done in a fun way.

Is it my imagination, or is this thread starting to get out of hand? Or, maybe, it's just getting interesting! Hmmmmmm... I was just looking for some advice, honest I was!

Nope it's not your imagination, but then that's my personal view.

Hey Dan,

I was one of the first to recommend Manny on your thread and I stand behind that recommendation. As you can also see I am not the only one to do so. So if you want honest advice, and I believe you do, try Manny. Worst case...you get your ride fixed at a great rate...best case...you get cold beers while you wait!

Default Time to go faster ???

Hey Dan ... Maybe I have got something for you I'm looking to go into the open comp class and need a faster coupe Maybe mine will be up for grabs.. You know its all ready a quick and smooth runner ... just great for the cruise to Dover for you. There are just so many deals right now in the states that it would be wasteful to put more money into my coupe when I can buy one already to roll Talk to you soon Dan

HEY! Right on Dan!!! Yours' runs great for basically a stocker... you ran an 11.98 beside me when I ran my best 12.970.... I thought I was going pretty fast till I saw you dissappear off in the distance in front of me towards the timing lights!!! Then I felt pretty slow ......I was pushing the gas pedal so hard I think I broke it, and got a cramp in my leg!! PM me and we'll work out a deal!!! Give me 1st dibs!!

Dan,
Your car has bolt-ons, doesn't it? Gears, converter, exhaust, CAI?
Good to see your running so well.
