He's just waiting for the check to clear

Mike has been a real stand up guy on the entire deal and can't believe I own the car. Don mentioned 860RW with current setup, and can only imagine trying to shift this thing at WOT. I was real close to buying a Viper or Zo6 but I think I made a smarter decision.

Nice man and congrats! When I had my cam put in with a bunch of other stuff (clutch, suspension, exhaust, tune, etc) by Don Mike's car was there and man is it a gorgeous machine. Everything is top quality parts and top notch work by Don so you know your not getting some poorly put together car that has been thoroughly ragged on. Def take some vids once you have it of you waxing liter bikes!

Being a passenger in a fast car isnt my favorite thing fred, but every now and then. You wont believe the torque, my car felt slow

Yeah unfortunately Mike is going to put it into my garage to the house I bought too, and I can't touch either until I get there on 20 June..

I'm stuck out here in California until then because of my job

Congratulations on the purchase and like many others have said, I can't wait to see it back at the track! Good luck with it and be careful.... LoL

I'm going to baby it for the first month or so in attempt to feel the car out, and most likely hit NED, although I like Atco better. The Nitto's on the rear are getting replaced with some Mickey Thompson DR's first, and I'm changing the plugs out, other that that I'm leaving it alone. I've never driven a car with this much HP, my last car dynoed like 426 RW. It's not going to be a track car, but I will take it once or twice and see what it is really capable of. Obviously a power Glide and stall would net much bigger numbers, but for a 6-speed I'll see what I can accomplish. Thanks guys for the compliments.

Fred
