Yea, didn't anyone tell you about "easing" into the hobby????

Hey, you KNOW I like your choice and I think you got a hell of a deal given the content of the car..

Welcome to our merry little world

Well at least I am going feet first into the fire.

Seriously, this car is downright awesome. Unfortunately, I may be a little to used to traction control, ABS and all the other doo-hickies the new cars have to save us from doing serious damage to ourselves and our cars.

There will be an adjustment period for me for sure, but after that, I truly hope to enjoy the car.

Shay built an unbelievable car here and should be commended for a great job well done.

If we had 10 Shay's with decision power at GM, I may actually buy their stock.

Thanks again,

Jim

It's a great car. Great stance, though it's a bit low for NY streets. Needs a coupla turns in the coil-overs. After that, we'll put the big pulley on the blower (detunes to a mere 800HP) so that you can run straight pump gas.

Other than that enjoy the hell out of it, Jim.

Wow, luckkkkkyyyyy. But beyond the insane engine setup and pro-touring qualities, I must say nice color...maybe because I am partial to viper red and white stripes!!

Welcome to the board, its awesome to have you.
