I was going to stand alone mine on a AEM Infinity w/Flex Fuel.

Stand alone would be the better option. But it might be a bit tricky because of the tranny. You would have to tune it to the tranny . It's really hard tuning her now because of all the mods to increase HP. We are going through a lot of files just to get her to run and shift smoother. The HP is easy to make, but shifting and boosting through different gears is tricky.

You called it on the spot when you visited the car in Sugarland. Those tuners were shady. They couldn't built it. Returned the car to me nearly destroyed. You my dear sir, have a fantastic insight into human behavior .

Love is the most insidious form of insanity, be it for a woman or a car or for one's self! For some of us it is all three.

I will probably head back out to Austin for MotoGP. Would love to spend a day with you driving around in your GTC. Knowing you, you probably have a 2014 V8 GTC running on e85 by now.

Let me know when you come to Texas and we will see if we can make something happen. I don't know if you can stand a whole day as I am an old boring type (just made it to 70 in January). I must say that it is flattering to have someone of your stature want to say hello.

As far as getting another automobile any time soon, consider that my two other cars are 9 and 13 years old (SL500 & ML430). In addition, I seem to have bonded completely with my current GTC. FYI - I will be in San Diego in April taking part in the Rolls Royce Owner's Club tour.

Maybe we can catch up in April. I have to do Long Beach Grandprix. Not racing, a car show.
