My other option is find someone in the Phoenix area that can recieve them and ship the wheels to them, mount them there and then ship them back home after the Fest....

I guess worse case scenario, I break one and replace them with something designed for pure racing.... that will handle the HP torque....

You guys are killing me 1600 hp, 900 hp. I'm excited with 463. I can only hope to see these machines in person one day and hopefully go for a ride. The torque has got to be amazing in these things.

You car ought to be substantially faster than that, and if your at the Fest, you are more than welcome to go for a ride... You are the first to ask, so you are first on the list if any others want to go... I know Doug is going to take her for a spin (literally) here at some point...in San Antonio one friday night...

Thanks, we get a lot of compliments on him, and he is the neighbor hood dog... All the kids love him, and several of our neighbors come over and let him out through the garage when I'm overseas, my wife is at work, and he is home by himself. He loves nothing more than laying in the front yard and watching the world go by....which is what he is doing at the moment...

Robert, your car is nearing the finish line it looks like. Two random things to comment on.
Why is the fan for the dyno run pointed directly at your licenseplate and not on the side where it can get to the radiator? I like how in the video the operator is smiling and laughing and then quickly turns serious and whips his head to the left to check the reading. It's like an instant "I'M SERIOUS NAO!!!!" moment. Please post pics when you can. I like living vicariously through people who get to receive a ton of boxes all at once to open. =) Congrats on the third Trimester. |

As for Corey, he probably thinks I'm a nut case... He is a lot of fun and has a huge funny side, but is all business when he needs to be... On a side note, I just got a box delivered to my casa... Thanks to Camaro21 (I believe he is the one that mentioned them) for the heads up on the deal for these... Got them through Amazon.com...
