Yeah I know. I have driven plenty of muscle cars before and owned 2 before this one. But this is an entirely different animal.

Both times I have gotten in the Porsche to drive home after testing/tuning the Camaro the past 2 weekends, I have felt that major letdown. (but that may have a little to do with the fact I need new spark plugs and it sputters a little bit at high rpms LOL).

Still, you just can't beat a raw, earth shaking, American muscle car. :)

It's a raw experience. I compare it to riding my custom motorcycle. You feel the power, smell all that gas your burning, after all it's alot of steel. Then you jump in your porsche and it's like a sewiing machine and a lazy boy. :rofl: Mine drives so nice but I have solid motor mounts so I feel everything. Everybody loves it when they ride in the car. My fenders kind of throb or shake at idle. It's a different trip and it's addicting. Once you get her dialed in it's a whole new ballgame. That's a big part of it .

Yeah I miss that intense smell of gasoline and shaking body panels. :D

But I must say I wouldn't quite call the Porsche a lazy boy... it does have coilovers, front/rear swaybars and 19s, so it's kinduva rough ride too.

But back to the musclecar. Can't wait to get it dialed in and really start hammerin on it. This ain't no show car that's for sure!

any updates??

decided not to take it to GoodGuys with the Gearhead crew. Wanted to get some more things adjusted and finish some body/paint stuff. Realign the intercooler and piping a little, and get some more break in miles on the clutch so we can dyno tune up at SVS in Sac.

Should be ready to rock soon. I wanna get it on the dragstrip ASAP and see what I can do. Trying to get Jason to set up another of their group drag days at Sac Raceway in July maybe. :unibrow:

That would be cool! I would be down to meet up with you guys if you have another group thing going at sac raceway. I still need to get a meth kit and tune it with a wideband. Keep me posted!

yeah man I will keep hitting up Jason to set something up, and if not, a few of us can just go up there sometime. I know Mike P wants to take his newly finished Camaro up there too after some dyno tuning, which we both plan to do very soon.

You gonna run 100% meth of a mix of water/meth?

Looking into the scheduling for another event. Weather could be a hassle if it hits 100+, but let's schedule this thing regardless! I'll keep you guys posted! ;)

:cheers:

Next you guys will be declaring your own bogus Gearhead holiday.




Then you'll have another first ... canceled due to excessive sunshine.

Freakin' left coasters. :mad:
