Funny guys (and girls), very funny...

I guess at C5Fest2 we'll have Subs AND popcorn delivery...

Now better go check in on the SST status if I can get through the phone lottery at NRE...

Heck, the prediction would have been for 18 months ago.

...but, I got off the phone with a Camaro 5 sponsor tonight and the differential housing, centersection, gears, stubs and axles are just about done and that is the last major piece(s) we have been waiting for. Gotta be patient otherwise the euphoria would be short lived the first time you stomp on the gas.

I don't know how you can be so patient, I was getting pissy it was taking me a little while longer than I expected to drop the oil pan today while doing my cam swap, I'd have gone bonkers by now but all good things come to those who wait I guess....

It was planned for quite some time, but with modern technology it just snowballed a little more than normal. There ended up being a lot of one-off parts and fabrication to make everything fit within the confines of "stock". There was a list of goals to shoot for and we may have been able to pull it off and obtain those.
