Man that's an ugly notchback lol. Then again most notchbacks would look ugly sitting next to your car.

Nice car and nice runs! For a second I thought you were a troll trying to tell us how slow LS1s are, lol.

> " no I said cheese NOT PINEAPPLE!...boo YA just ran 11.38 in the quarter"

FWIW, I was actually on the phone with Hartmut, the head of RENNtech and former head of AMG. He was tickled that I ran a pass while we chatted.

Yah, you guys used 190 gigabytes of bandwidth in 6 days. Sheesh

[maybe I'll go host it at work. That'd do the trick]

Hey Ben . . . I never stopped to think about how long we've been on these forums that many new people, 2 years or newer, don't know who you are or the car(s) that you possess

For the record to anyone who reads this thread:

Ben Treynor is a LEGEND of wicked speed and performance modification. Most of that legend was created by his Doug Levins 1000+ hp Viper (missed seeing the miracle run in Palm Beach but I did see the car in person at Fuds in Fort Lauderdale) . . . and the legend continued to build with his other "fast" (relatively speaking in Treynor's terms . . . warp speeds to most normal human beings ) toys I particularly Liked the S Class 11 second run with the "baby on board" sticker on the window

Can't wait to see the vid Ben :thumbup:
