When I put the 10 mm socket in my jeans, my wife says.... Oh, never mind. 
Back on topic: Andy, what's the highest hp street car you've driven? I'm not going to pretend that my GTS is even in the same league as yours is going to be, but it's the most powerful thing I've ever been able to 'let rip' and is a big step up from my GT. I bring it up only because you may need to do some recalibration of your 'passing' reflex, 'cause A) every car on the road is going to feel like it's in your way, and B) you're going to be clipping peoples' left rear bumper as you buzz around them if you're not careful.

As in, it is all-too easy to decide to "really" pass another car and all of a sudden whereas you used to be doing a few tens over when you were done, you are now doing a few tens over a buck and $h1+ is coming up really, really fast.
Then after a trip to say.... SITM and back with enough time to get really used to it... you get home and jump in your DD to do a milk run and think there's something horribly wrong with the DD's motor. Crap. Wazzamatter with this thing? It's broken!

I bought got killed going from my high HP Chevelle, to the mighty Volvo 245, and strangely enough the other way around.

oh.... and the "gts was a dog "comment was to reflect on me as swapping the cams and putting 3 inch exhaust on it before the sc made it a real dog down low . sorry for any confusion I still love the 928 more than any other car I have owned ( chevelle, 70.5 challenger ta, wifes 04 zo6....) I am just jones'n I guess.
