The roads aren't actually that bad. I think I will take the car to CT. I have until 20-Feb before I head back to CA. I'm definately going to TTP to dyno the car & hopefully atleast one track day. I plan on beating that 11.70 best & trapping 123 in the qtr. Slowhawk did the motor & damn it's a monster! If the weather clears & you guys want to meet up at a track, let me know-Fred

Fred, back-pedal a step or 2 and re-acess your position.....Another 10" fell here today, w/more slated for later in the week...A few doses of road salt and your car will really be mad at you--not to mention what it'll look like underneath come Spring..... WJ

I fired it up today. It sounded as nasty as i remembered. I didn't take it out of the garage yet. I'm going to swap out the plugs on Saturday & drive it down to CT. on Sunday. I normally would listen to you guys & leave it in the garage but I won't be back to the area until July & gotta drive the car. I'm still hoping to catch atleast one track day before I have to put the car back in the garage. How are the roads in Maryland?-Fred

I drive my car all year. The underbody is fine if you clean it really well and often.

The paint.....the paint these days is really tough, just learn how to detail clearcoat.
