Thank you...

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Funny thing... I was out tuning the car last night working on the driveability and transient response... so I did a couple of 3rd gear 40 rolls... every time the car would pull a mid to low 5. I think I did it like 4 or 5 times in a row. I figured I would drive it more aggressively and see if I could beat the 5.2. I was happy when I hit the 5 flat, but I was really hoping it was a 4.99 at that point! LOL... what a slap in the face by the Driftbox. 5 point oh damn!

Thanks again... it's always nice to hear something positive in reference to what you are doing.

On-Topic - SICK 60-130 time, PERIOD. That car has a 4 in it, just a few more tries, slightly cooler temps outside, and a 4.xx is going to happen...

Off-Topic - Sean, I will roll your *** on the street with the Poopra and I will kick your *** on the mat. Even though I'm only 190 lbs. and wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy below your weight class, I'll fight up to the 250 lb. class and beat that ***! From now on, call me RANDY....

You're still laid up with a bad knee... do you really want this thing sitting outside the window *knowing* that you can't drive it?

You'll be done soon... I've been doing some more tweaking on the HR kit we've done for you now that we've added the intercoolers. You will not be dissappointed.

Rest up... you're going to need to rest that knee... your car is way too much fun to drive... even without those pain killers, lol!

To be honest, I'm not sure I could even get into the car right now Tym. I crutched on by my Z06 today, looked at the dust and just kept on going :/

I wouldn't mind looking in the windows from time to time, though :P

A week out of surgery on my knee, and I'm getting stronger. Probably a month out from driving my toyz, though :/

I feel you! But I bet its really nice when you get time D, to have to choose between the Sledgehammer or the GT2.

i think i have a dilemma. not sure what i am going to do with the GT2. the Sledgehammer is really going to deliver the ultimate in terms of a daily driver.

Yes sir! You are in a pickle! I think that once the Sledgehammer is pump gas tunned with the suspension done etc....thats the one you are going to want to spend most of your time in. The GT2...should be a good collectible and should fetch a nice premium now or down the road. Man its good!
