I thank you all for the compliments but trust it has been and still is stressful and nerve-racking. It becomes hard to concentrate on work. There's always something to think about the project and ask about this and that plus what's going on?
The next guy will have a much smoother course.

Didn't you go with the new fenders and wider front tires?
Btw your GT2 is a monster from all Louis and Vic have told me.
I have total confidence with the guys at Motorsport. I've known Louis since
1995. He was my crew chief when we raced the 993 3.8RSR.

Today I am very proud to see our country give all the due recognition, respect and honor to the military for their sacrifice, service and dedication.
In my day you considered a loser for having served. When you came home you were made to feel ashamed to wear your uniform especially if you were from a big city.
My family immigrated here from communist oppression. When drafted my father told me, "serve proudly the country that gave us freedom".
Long story short, the US Army gave this animal the opportunity of an education and became a physician.
Anyway sorry about the tangent.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe I've seen your GT2 at Motorsport.

I'm sure your chassis will have some tricks they learned from my car, plus new ones I can probably incorporate in the future, just like what they learned from P.G.'s car. You will be very happy with the Ohlins kit- that is the standard in my opinion. If you talk to Louis you can ask him about setup on my car- the initial alignment with the lower chassis height and aggressive camber, plus the valving we ended up with that evening at PBIR. That would be a good start for you.
My motto with my cars is the old Peanuts one- "Speak softly and carry a big stick.". I won't hit you over the head with bright colors and over the top body mods, but it will be much quicker than anyone expects at the track. How do like my hitch?
Are you getting the Champion suspension parts too? Those are WINNER in my book, I wanted them, but I had bought ERP arms a few months beforehand. Louis says the Heims are better on the Champion ones, and the cinch bolt instead of the locknut is much better in my opinion.

Here's a couple of quick updates from the guys over at Champion. Looks like they've got the engine ready to go back into the car! Hopefully we'll get some results from the dyno very soon.
They also had a chance to get the carpet back in the car....still fits great even without all the foam...

I think Orbit and Champion compete for the whitest cleanest floor.
Champion might have the edge right now.
Juan, try to make it to Sebring June 9th, PBIR 13th and Homestead16th
