For those who care, we will be at Cordova in 3-4 weeks for testing. I'll let you know when it gets closer, but we have a brand new car being finished right now, and plan to be able to get some bugs sorted out. If everything is going smooth, look for a low 6 or possibly a high 5 pass. If anybody is interested, let me know so that I can be watching for you, and I might bring my Z to get a few baseline runs.

Had the car out a few times after installing a shift lite and a vinci tune.Going to dyno it this weekend and get a wideband to baseline it.BTW the vinci programmer is freakin awesome,I'm very impressed with the driveability of the car and where it put the fuel/timing at from logging before-after.Its also nice to watch the road and pull a gear when the light flashes,every M6 should have one.

Only thing though: do you want to wait until I have all the cash in hand, or pay you in payments of say $100 a week, or something or other. I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to sell it unless all the money is in your hand right away, but I just got a bunch of bills thrown at me after getting back from vacation this past Sunday, so having 9 days off work (unpaid) and a crappy-hour week this week (getting back onto normal hours after being off usually takes a week at Menards) is gonna throw my money situation off about a week or so from when you remove that intake.

However you wanna go about it is fine with me: I just hope that if it comes to having to wait it out a week or two, you'll hold out and not sell it 'cuz I know the LS6's are in high demand. Maybe I'll give you a down payment.

I'll try to post up pics from this weekend. We went to the chassis builders for the fitting, and it was the first time we got to see the car. Coming along very nicely, and we should be picking it up in about a week.
