I should call every half an hour and say:
"Is it done yet?"
"Is it done yet?"
"Is it done yet?"
"Is it done yet?"
"Is it done yet?"
"Is it done yet?"
"Is it done yet?"
"Is it done yet?"
Nah, I'll call later on in the week.

Ike did the smart thing - no calls and just let them work on it. They want their money so they will call when it is done (I hope you did not prepay
)

Yeah. Chris went like 12.2@122 w/ a crappy 2.3 60' I think & no burnout at all! (hitting the brakes in 1 pass). He really needs to stick to the twisties!!!

I can't wait either!!! I couldn't go to sleep last night thinking about it. I kept tossing and turning, at one point, my wife tells me, "you're thinking about the car aren't you?"

Yeah, like you would be seen driving an A4!!
We definitely gotta go for a ride in the woods out there. They have some long farm roads out there which are pretty quiet. Chris took me around some of them in his new Z. I can't wait to see what she can do!!!!! I don't know how I'm gonna get through the next 24 hours!!!

322 rwhp and 328 rwtq. And I thought going from stock 289 rwhp to 322 rwhp was alot!! You have to remember that autos lose more power to the rear wheels than sticks. At the crank, my calculations say that the engine is putting out 496 hp!!
I can't wait!!!
Who wants to bet that Wicked Weasel and I get pulled over on Friday???
