I just talked to David Jette of Hennessey Performance Engineering, West Coast Operations and the their open house is Saturday, 07-30-2011, 10AM-2PM.
I also got the OK to invite the SoCal turbo Buick posse, but I don’t know how many, if any of them are coming. I will be bringing my Cad as my turbo Buick is down for a while.
Who all’s interested? Let's see how many CTS-V's, STS-V's, & turbo Buicks we can show up with.
Most people will be meeting at Cars & Coffee - Irvine, Sat morning, 07-30-2011, & leaving from there to go to Hennessey Performance Engineering. Hope to see everybody there.

Hmmm... This sounds interesting Gary. Hope to have the stock V rad back from Peter by then, if not I may have to ride up in the GN.

Either car is socially acceptable according to Dave. I'm only not taking my Buick as it is down for about a month for some ceramic coating & so forth. I really doubt if they are going to guard the parking lot to see who pulls up in what.

Was a nice time, some sick cars to look at! Lots and lots of $$$ there! I will have to post some pics later.

Sorry that i missed you & family, James, left about 12ish, stopped by and saw Lou (right around the corner) for a while, & went home. If I would have known that you were showing up later I would have waited. I left C&C a tad early to get good parking at Hennessey's. I guess that Lee (Cruzn57) showed up a little later too. Hector had his 559 RWHP CTS-V there. He just had it done by Charlie at RPM in Valencia. Heads, cam, tune, meth, intercooler, CAI. Maybe we can get the V's together next time. Craig from San Jose was there also with his V1.

Sorry that I missed you guys. I would have liked to see everybody and their improvements on their cars. Maybe next time.

Ya I dropped it off after the hennessey event, getting: Accusump/oil cooler/diff cooler and other little stuff.

Considering my car was a first build for the Eforce package, I am amazed that nothing has gone wrong and everything worked perfect. Got to give it up to RPM for that one.

hollywdV

i have the same experience w/ them so far. after i picked up my car from them a couple weeks ago, i went to vegas that same evening. since then, i have put over 1k miles. not one issue or code..

Gary Wells

Might be time for another Cars & Coffee - Irvine - get together.
