Paul, have you driven it hard yet?
Good to be bizzy, I recon!

Yes, the morning we got the insurance card, I got a chance to turn the Turq Monster LOOSE! It makes mine feel like an LT1 car...almost. (Mine is still good enough to sack a turbo Porsche on the way to an impromptu pizza meeting last night. It has longer legs, if not as vicious a bite!)

I bought some standard 94 seats from Kenny Windische - same color - and installed them. (Wimmin need more hip room, doanchaknow.) Then Ami and I went for a ride to see how they fit her. Much better, actually!

And, while out for a short sprint, she really turned it loose a couple times - surprised me, tho it shouldn't have. (She isn't afraid to put the hammer down! But, one ought not turn the Turq Monster loose until she has more experience with it. Lots of power under that bonnet, and by her own admission she's not comfy with a car when it starts to skid. Hmmmm.... We'll work on that!!)
