I'll be there,... my car MIGHT be in a booth this year as well. If you've never gone to this show,...well,...it's honestly the ****. Never been to a better auto related party. Tons of the latest and greatest parts you can see/touch/learn about....you can talk to the direct builders/engineers/racers... it's pretty much the bomb diggity.

Your gonna love it.

I'll be there. Been going ever since it started coming to Orlando. I love it. You can see everything in one day, but you can't talk to everyone and learn about everything all in one day. My experience is that most of the people are cool to talk to, some people not so much (people so full of their own **** they think they are Chuck Norris).

Yeah well they don't waste any space, the whole place is packed. Is it open this year, or do you still need to know someone to get in?

Thanks man. Not sure if it's gonna happen. Kinda stressing out about it, since the car needs things done to it before hand,...just waiting on a go ahead or not. I'm actually not sure who's both but, I believe it has something to do with mobil one, and gm performance. Again, starting to doubt its gonna happen.

Ill keep an eye open for it if I go.
Oh yeah almost forgot... I'm researching clutches for my car and I came across this on Ram's website.

"We read some amazing posts detailing how a clutch explosion has cut some guy's Corvette in two and how upset he is about the damage to his car but he never says: Hey, that clutch could have killed me! A person would have to be very lucky to walk away from such a catastrophe. Make sure the pressure plate you use is not just a modified stock type unit!"

Did spec end up doing anything about that or just leave you hangin?
