Good pickup! Yup, bought it off a WC guy. It was his car last year.

Has Mich slicks on it now.

Collin, you can take her out anytime...no keys or locks. Couldn't get Nav/PCM either.

But you got AC, right? And a sunroof?

Have you driven it yet? If so, what do you think of the sequential box and the clutch?

sunroof top, diamond in the back is on order!

clutch/gearbox has a very steep learning curve associated with it. was tooling around the paddock and grounds "learning" the nuances. was with George getting balanced and aligned as well as the Mich slicks.

will definitely get her out Fri or Sat, but will be pointing by until I get the feel. very light front end and steering, even at low speeds.

OK OK, was that slow in, fast out...or the other way around now?

Maybe it's the danger factor (for we earthquake country folk) that appeals, but I think it's more because your black Cup looks SILLY good in that shot....

An avatar for the ages.

Good luck...hope you don't kill the clutch too quickly!

I'm planning to be there all day tomorrow, hopefully I'll get a chance to see the car.

I prefer slow in, slow out, slow down the straight. Consistency works in your favor :-).
