Famous last words -- take it easy. To me that means get the oil up to operating temp and get close to redline.

Just a short burst at redline

The heck with that. If it is going to fail let's find out now

Yeah, right. Take it easy

Yep. You've been there.

Luckily the engine is broke in. Been well over 7000 rpm on the dyno under load. It's that little patch where the rubber meets the road that gets ya.

Bruce.. Congrat's on getting it on the road!

I hope everything is spot on and working as designed - as patient as you were for the entire build, you deserve to have the SST work flawless for the first ride!

It'll be awesome to see you arrive with a big ol' case of permagrin plastered ear to ear! That smile should last you all weekend!

Looking forward to meeting you in person!

We can't wait to see your reinvention of the 5th Gen.

Can't wait to meet you and see this magnificent beast! See you on Thursday!

Ghost1LE · 04-13-2011, 04:56 PM

I can't wait to see the pictures from the Fest finally. I just noticed you're from East coast Florida, what city ? I'm in Jensen Beach, so maybe I can come see your car in person one day soon!

Darth_Emma · 04-13-2011, 06:45 PM

speedster,
Are any of the guys from NRE coming with you to the Fest? I find it hard to believe they'd let it out of their site with it being so "green."

Hope you have a blast driving it. Keep the rubber side down!

JusticePete · 04-13-2011, 07:43 PM

Blast sounds about right. So would launch. Shot out of a cannon. We can't go with light saber, or can we?

Darth_Emma · 04-13-2011, 07:46 PM

I chose my words carefully.

Darth_Emma · 04-13-2011, 08:22 PM

I hope he got some seat time today. He said his plan was to drive to the fest tomorrow.

Wow that engine is crazy.. I have no clue how you get 1450wHP down without some insanely huge slicks but I would love to try..
