Ryne told me it's an 11 second car... dunno if i'll be taking it to the track anytime soon with the stock 10-bolt on her... plus, if I do go to the track it'll be during a much cooler time of the year and not in the dead middle of summer here in Phoenix

for sure go when it is cooler...and using the stock rear with ur power might be a lil risky at the track...

I'd say I'm decent when it comes to racing, but not pro or anything. Basically my redline is now 7k rpms... but if I'm doing a typical run, (like what happened today) i'll shift at like 5000-6000 just to be a little on the safe side. Ryne gave my car a nice SAFE tune per my request, so it runs a little on the rich side, of which you can totally smell But I'd rather be safe than sorry...

oh and BTW he fixed the "finding idle" issue we had previously... cold starts are no longer an issue, and the car has great driveability in daily traffic.

I thought I was going to have an encounter with one on Saturday, it said "Oz edition" on the back.

I think he clicked his heels because I couldn't find him after my friendly rev.

Maybe that's why he clicked his heels. I knew those cars came with their own red slippers.
