At 46 it's been a few years since I've been called that but I'll take it.

Awesome job guys!!

Thank you....PM sent.

That's kinda what Jon and I were doing last night.

Good luck with the rest of your list. Glad it is moving forward. You get used to the noise of the SC pretty quick. Have a good time!

Thank you riki.

LOL. After I've driven it. I was not driving in the vid. Jon is much more experienced in knowing what to listen for and pay attention to so I was happy to ride shotgun. Last thing I wanted was a blown motor, already been through that.
As a passenger it felt pretty quick though it's kinda hard to get a full handle on the way it was driving. I did take note how quickly it accelerated to 98 on that "private closed to the public road" we were on though. Plus Jon was not flooring it in 1st and 2nd either. He was just trying to see how the car was behaving under boost. Pay attention to the camera errrrr GoCam on acceleration. Lol.

Truthfully Jon expected more torque down low but I told him that's not how these V3's seem to be working. They seem to be making full boost at redline. I heard him muttering "shoulda got a turbo"

Thot you and Gretchen would get a kick out of that. Jon is a big fan of the big single snail. He just might be picking up a used 6MT LS here soon and coming up with something. This build has the wheels spinning in his big bald head. Lol.

[GretchenGotGrowl]

Wise man that Jon.

Show him what some of these other turbo guys are getting and he may just jump on that lol.

[Can't_C_Me]

Sounds good to me Jon is the man lol! My M6 is holding up nicely so far. I have been getting some grinds from 1st - 2nd sometimes but nothing serious. ALL THIS TORQUE I HAVE DOWN LOW is beautiful lmao!!

[BaylorCamaro]

Oh man these turbo guys

Every time I hear the word turbo this plays in my mind.
