Awesome, congrats! I'd love to get a car featured one day other than their "Street Heat" section. One day...

Looking forward to getting the magazine, it'll probably be read front to back in the first pitstop I make at home though. That's one thing I hate about magazines, too short!

You've got more than 1 pit or your family's VERY understanding or your wife is VERY unhappy.

I don't have a subscription but I'll definitely have to go pick this up. You're car is amazing and I can't count how many times I've watched that video on YouTube of you going sideways when you hit your 244 record!

The car we're talking about it the LT1 body-styled Trans Am WS6 in the picture...

note: Thread is posted in the "LT1-LT4 section" + OP's username is "BlackbirdWS6."

I def can't take any credit for the insane Camaro featured on the cover. Simply an amazing machine.

Bizzatch - my dad is happy to see continue to accomplish my goals. While he thinks what I've done is wild, he was all smiles after taking him for a ride. I could have gone more extreme and made it a pure race car but I enjoy putting the top down and going for a cruise. My wife actually demanded the roll bar be installed lol. My buddies don't agree with all my decisions but thats OK because its my car. They never hesitate to give a hand, no matter how ridiculous the task.

Thanks as well and I'm sure your car would look good in the mag . Call it being in the right place at the right time.

You had 15psi with the top down....now you want it with A/C?? Last time, the compressor won't engage at WOT.
