OK folks, we probably have a ton of material to share about our day at the shop today so post them here!

Before anything is posted let me just give big thank you to Rick Deman and his staff for welcoming us on a Saturday to their shop!!!

The day started at 10AM and time flew by. It was close to 1:30PM by the time we started wrapping up. I think many of us are spent right now trying to digest the information that was presented and the sights (and sounds!) in the shop.

The 4.0 was there and ajira got an extended ride. Hopefully he'll provide some feedback later.

That car is not actually a shop car but a customer car. There is someone lurking here who is the lucky owner of the thing...

Thanks again to Rick and his staff! It was such a fun and educational event ... it was great to meet so many current and future GT4 owners.

Time to see the shop!

A GT4 owner (I believe this is LarryF's GT4) volunteers his car for a baseline dyno run.
