What part of So Cal will you be staying? If you are around the Irvine area, you should stop by cars and coffee Saturday morning. If you do decide to go to the car show, please let us So Cal peeps know when it will be at the show.

It’s been a long journey and the car finally made it home three nights ago. Despite Brian’s pleading that I not take it out because it has not been road tuned (that will happen in 2 weeks in California), I could not resist. Here are a few videos of my first time behind the wheel. If you don’t have good speakers on your computer, grab a pair of headphones – you’ll be glad you did.

Rarely am I at a loss for words, but this one has me stumped. Driving this machine can only be described as a mixture of muscle car utopia, raw adrenaline and fear. As a result, I am going to refer to this beast as the “Stallion” – wild, powerful, untamable and something that must be revered.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback this year. We will be busy on the autocross/events circuit next year. I will be at the Cars & Coffee in Irvine, CA on Jan. 22 and will be participating in the Run to the Coast at the end of February. I hope to meet some of you in person at these events.

Merry Christmas and enjoy!

Very cool...

I like the turbo whistle in the first and third videos. Can't wait to see more when you get it out to Cali.

Merry Christmas.

Wow.. sounds great!
I should have my car by the time your going to Cars and Coffee. I'll meet you there. Sounds fun.
I was in the shop the other day... your car looked awesome with all the little things finished and buttoned up. The trunk came out killer. Fits real nice. I also really like the mesh you used in the grill and hood intakes.

nice job. I also love seeing you driving it on freezing cold streets with snow all over the place. :thumbsup:
