Default Good to be home

It is sooo good to be home. After spending a week in Doha, Qatar Building a 07 C6 Z06. Got some pretty good pics that I will have posted after while. The cars that these guys have are amazing. Will also post the video of Chuck and I in the back seat of a BMW M6 drifting around a "roundabout".

We did Cylinder heads, Stage 3 Cam, Dual Disc clutch, and a NOS plate system. The car on a dynojet would have made about 730 RWHP.

The people that we were dealing with were real cool. Everyone that we had contact with were really friendly, and suprisingly alot of people spoke english.
