I remember the first year after I got the old 408. All these guys would come up to me in the pits and criticize me for getting an auto. I knew what was up tho...lol.

So true! My friends initially gave me crap for having a built auto supra, but after driving it they agreed. If you're into drag racing and have a high hp car an automatic tranny will win almost hands down every time. If you're running a boost application the difference can be almost laughable! Manuals are great for casual driving and road courses but if you want straight line go with a nice auto tranny.

That will be a darn nice event Charlie. You just need to get a 2nd Gen in there! The wife and I are out of town this weekend so post plenty of pics so we can see how it turned out.

They've had two ss's and one v6 (yellow w/black stripes) there all week. The black one belongs to the Iowa speedway. Not impressed. You should scratch that and head to the capital around 9:00 tommrow for the hero's cruise. It'll end in Johnston at the Stoney Creek lodge. It benefits Iowa vets of Irag war.

Congrats on getting back Dave! We all thank you for your service. Now you can finally play with that new toy. Speaking of new toys, the wife and I picked this up over the weekend.





Drives and handles excellent. Very quiet and tracks well at high speeds. The wife even dusted an unsuspecting GTP owner at a light yesterday. I don't think he was expecting her to gun it. I was so proud
