I'm with Nasty, he's going to have my Vette finished WELL before my Bird is done. I'm only anticipating around 700 to the ground from the Vette. The Bird I'm trying to push closer to 800 with. It should be a fair bit nastier than the Vette, but that's what I wanted anyway.

My problem is that I've got to drop $3800 to get our Celica fixed, and this is on top of finishing up the Vette. Bird is third in line, but if I can work some thing it *may* be running for the shootout. MAY I say again. Depends on if things fall my way or not.
