Get the harness... I am always leery about how a single wire gets broken within it, but nothing else does. It somewhat suggests that whatever broke the first wire, may have done more damage that is yet unseen...

For whatever reason wind noise on a microphone is one of the most annoying sounds to me - it is unbearable and like fingernails on a chalkboard. Not specific to your video - it has always been a sound that makes me cringe. Would love to hear the actual car - between your 2 videos the Huracan sounds awesome but mostly because the windows are probably up.

For me, It got old pretty quickly. After the Huracan we were in my buddies 458 and my 996 TT, and both sounded far better (just an opinion).

I hate fingernails on a chalk board; I also hate chalk.

My oil pressure sensor is no longer connected to reality so I ordered a new one.

Fabbed up some brackets so I can mount the large bracket to hold my two 5 gallon fuel jugs on my tire trailer. I have them as far back as possible so I don't think it'll impact the tongue weight much. I also won't fill them until I'm at the last gas station before the track. Now I won't have to carry them in the frunk, which is great.

If they're empty, not so much, but if they're full, around 100lbs.

Gasoline's 6 pounds per gallon, ask any pilot. So 10 gallons = 60 pounds.

I stand corrected; I was thinking about water and forgot the density of fuel is less that 1.0

Yep, figure with the bracket it's maybe 70lbs when they're full. I'm going to transport them empty and fill them at the last gas station before the track. When I go to High Plains that means they'll be full for a 20 mile, 20 minute drive. Should be fine and a much better option than having them full inside the frunk of the car...

Is there an actual tow rating for the turbo?

Well, the Tyre Gods have shined upon me and my 660s are here! What a week, all kinds of new toys and tuning tomorrow!

These only took months to get here...

Nice. My car is in the shop getting them mounted. I was just told the rears are def much bigger and square than the rt615 that was on there which is nice as they seemed small for a 315 on a 12" wheel. Now I have to roll the fenders.
