Finally got my prize



They dyno'd the car for me as part of the package (465.75 HP at the wheels):


Got to pick it up inside of Hendrick Performance (stores about 300 of Rick Hendricks personal car collection) Check out some of the company it was keeping in the background


Thought this was a cool piece of paper they gave me, notice who it was sold to?
