Worst case, the next time that you are in the Denver metro area, I can give you a walk through on how to do it right. Depending on which polisher you have, you should be relatively safe. If you have the Porter Cable polisher, about the only way you are going to damage you paint is to use the wrong end of the polisher to beat on your car. Please don't try that.

Thank you Kirk. Your car will be in good hands.

I might have to take you up on that, I think I have all the machine polishes and the hand stuff too, just not sure what to do. I read, I watch, I scared.

Not my cup-o-tea. If I wanted to blend in, I wouldn't have bought an aqua car either. Hood's too small, car sits too high, can't stand the big bowtie in front.. I'm just whining now.. They sold 99,000 first year; just want to be a bit different. I've owned well over 150 cars and I always go for the one-off stuff. Odd-colored Mopars, Shelby Mustang, 455 T\A's, Porsche 928..never mainstream. Just the way I am. I've never been mistaken for "the sane one".
Given a choice, would you buy a '67 butternut yellow 6 cylinder auto, or the '67 396 RS\SS 4 speed in Marina Blue? That's what I thought!
Just sayin...

See you all in the spring! I love the trash-talking regarding all the driving skills, or lack thereof. Hopefully some of this bench-racing will turn into the real deal at Bandi later this year!

[2010 SS RS]

No we pretty much banter before during and after the track nights....We are just honing our skilz right now. Now Tom if Kirky could drive a stick we probably would still be giving him the same grief....lol

HAHA its about driving skills too !!!!! OK OK First we can race my car against your car, That will take care of the auto vs manual then......... I can drive someones M6 that is equal to yours (same bolt ons)....It cant get any better then that!

I've already said your a better driver,just based on your experiance. I'm saying it's EASIER to drive and put down a good time with an auto as opposed to a manual. You step on the gas and go. Manuals have a tad bit more to deal with

^ I AGREE I have yet to drive an M6 at Bandi. I would like to try one this year.

What will I win?

Good predictions for a engine built for future forced induction. . A 427 is capable of more as we all know, but the lower compression, fi cam and using stock intake and tb. Larry's estimate could be close, We shall see.

E85 on a asprated Car will have little to no gains. Did this with 2 project cars last year. Both cars putting down 450 to 475 rwhp, The cars showed only a .7 to 1% increase in power.

That is odd.. you can still advance the timing right? Wonder what the reason for that is. It shows on the e85 racing sites as a better blend with hp gains. Going to have to scratch my head on that one.
