It's always nice to see one of these Project Updates end with a running car that's gets used to it's full potential and beyond. Congratulations Vin. Enjoy! Next stop: XV Motorsports Track Day

Whole office was watching and cheering you on Vin !! What a BLAST man - you lucky dog.

Your car has WAY to much power for that track - kinda like threading a needle from 100 yards out with a rock. Had the course been a bit bigger where you could really use the car and the power it makes - and you'd have been smiling for weeks !

Thanks for the ride !

I had the honor of going for a blast in this thing after the autocross event. The car is an absolute animal and sounds killer with that exhaust. I know toning down exhaust is popular in some circles, but I like a nice loud hot rod. Jake did a great job stitching this one together. Fast as hell and handles like it's on rails. Anyone who doubts the ability of Air Ride Technologies needs to have their head examined. Vinny was right there with the top dogs on Saturday.
