Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely

Boy have I been excited. I picked up a car to enjoy at HPDEs. It has coilovers, serious brakes, a ported 350, and some cool extras for the track. I haven't really gotten to enjoy it too much. It handles really well and has some pretty good power with stock gears. It has Hoosier tires right now (Nittos on the garage floor but haven't had time to put them on) and spins them through first and start of second. The stock gears hook up mid-second and the car pulls strongly through 7,000 rpms. I was impressed and fairly smitten with the car. All-in-all, an impressive car.

Well, until I got the 415 out today. The BFG KDs only have ~300 miles and ~3yrs. The car spun the tires at 75 mph. That will get your attention.

I will be joining Shrek and his better half plus Callaway at a few HPDEs at VIR. We need some WAZOO folks down.

I think that's one of Ted's 95s (black one), the above pic of the actual car shows gray 90-91 controls :)

I have to say of all my crazy and impulsive buys this seems to be a good one. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for '91s. I personally feel it was the last semi-attempt at a sports car. 92+ became more of a GT to me. I almost bought a '91 way back when but waited 5 years for my first.

Rat and Robert, I like them all but 95s are my favorite. Yes, I'm always looking for a Dunn dark red, purple or aqua.

Lee, it was too good to pass up. The CF hood is awesome for what it is. Very lightweight and adds character (imperfect but nice).

Andrew, I was hoping you'd adopt me. I need some support.

Thanks Tom. We need an east coast rally.

Wheels are out for new tires so I put originals w/ PS2s on. They are noisy.
