Ha Laura wants to drive it but I think that maybe a bad idea. This thing pulls hard. So far you can ingnite the rear tires in the first 4 gears. We were going to build an engine cal that holds the bypass open on the blower for her, but at 3 psi it still makes 600ish HP.
The team of people that helped me on this car are the best I've worked with. With my schedule over the last year I would have never gotten it done without their help. We work great together. I have the ideas and we execute them. Over the 2.5 years we have been working on this project I can only think of a few things that needed to be scrapped and redone.
It felt good to just drive it last night. Drove back in the shop and had a beer. I know I will make SEMA and I'm still not sure how the OUSCI deal will turn out. New track, new rules, new format. At this point I'm good just making it.
My other bigger project the Z-28 turned out great and at the end of the day GM pays my bills. This car stuff is just a hobby and it can consume you if you let it.
Looking forward to going to SEMA and hanging out in the Optima booth and seeing old friends.
Thanks for everyone's kind words. Now I need to get it done and take it to Waterford Oct 12 then Gingerman Oct 17.
Deadlines focuses the mind……
