Thanks again, Punchy!
Damn, I wish I still lived in Arizona. Of course I would drive out there is a heartbeat to tour the DPG.

BTW, is the rumor true that they are moving the grounds to the Yuma Proving Grounds?

We've been told that it sounded like "a demon"! And had a whistling sound at idle

The first photo is the original. The second has been magnified.
Enjoy!!

maybe that whistling at idle was a 4 cyl TURBO WOW

I still think it's a V6 driven by engineers with a cruel sense of humor

I've gotten a couple requests for tours so let's do this....April 6th at 10a.m. (it's a Sunday)

PM me and let me know who will be able to make it. If this date doesn't work, hopefully we can work around it.

Has anyone heard of Saleen possibly making the SS engine? I mean didn't Saleen just recently make their own corp and they are no longer Saleen-Mustang? What do you guys think of that. Oh and the dealer guys said that the SS will be the 3rd and most superior model.

Comments?

Don't believe it.........

As long as we can have a V8 with a bunch of horsepower, who cares?! They can put coppertops in the hybrid versions if they want to. Make it a fair price, make it quick, and make it soon.

I got the final approval for the tour so it's a go ahead.

Sunday April 6th, 10am.

I would like to keep it down to 10 people at a time.

P.S. Make sure you have some food in your stomach otherwise that Corvette ride will make you sick. < We don't want none of that.

I also got someone to come in and open up the gift shop. They have t-shirts, polos, hats ,mugs...and other various items. Visa or cash. No checks.

We're rolling out the red carpet for you guys.
