Actually we are about 2-1/4 hours from there. You can PM me for more info. Maybe we can figure something out.

Well, there is one thing I can do. Let me find out when Tom is going to take out one of his other creations and I will do my best to you get a terror ride.

Oh dont even worry about it, that would be awesome but its cool.
wanted the Camaro terror ride LOL. And dont want to keep bugging him

I think I am as excited as you are! Congratulations!

The gauges in the 5th Gen are cool, but maybe not quite up to Speedster cool factor? I see a full set of custom gauges in the dash and more adapted to fit in the console cluster You know, in your spare time

[JoeP@TeamBeckyD]

Holy smokes you finally got it back

Congrats Bruce, can't wait to see the beast at C5fest

Thanks Pete !! I'll be talking to you about suspension adjustments... big surprise there. As far as the gauges, the Data Logger looks factory. We modified the center console and it basically goes right where the factory 4 gauge cluster would be. Color matched all of the trim too.

A-

No $#!t ?

That is awesome that you got your ride !!! Sounds pretty crazy as the rpm's climb, huh... It is low boost, but the part that always got me is that it still puts out just under 900hp at the minimum setting.

It is supposed to be picked up by the transport company later this afternoon. I am ecstatic that you did get out in it - You definitely deserve it. Now I feel better.

...and yes the suspension setting/tuning is the first task to do in FL. Going to get the new Lower Control Arms to clear the 345's, then corner balance it and get it adjusted/aligned.

-B

Did you get any pics or video ? Either you in the SST or driving around?

[Cali_Camaro_SS]

Thanks and yea at minimum settings it is still unbelievable.

Of course one time ever I forget my phone at home I get the ride of a lifetime.

But the guy that took me for the ride had his Iphone and I took some Vids, he will send me them later
