Well we made it to Columbus at 5 am Thursday morning.. Thursday night we decided if this car was going to compete for SMOTY it better be capable of taking A beating... After cruising around the fairgrounds we found a large empty parking lot and it was on! The car is unreal to drive! After feeling good about the thrashing we decided to drive it to the host hotel, again awesome for being fresh out of the box.. Curt ran a 33.6 on the autocross but had taken out 1 cone .. With a little tweaking this car is gonna be incredible! We received a top 5 pick which was awesome but what was even better than that is between burnouts and drift sessions we put over 200 miles on the car over the weekend and had a blast doing it.. The car sat outside at night and took us to dinner everynight.. She's no trailer queen show car!! Pics to come soon!

That's a true street machine. If you ask me I feel doing a 34sec or better should be part of SMOY

I have a 1st gen and have been getting design inspiration form your build for a year now. I just hoping you will bring it to Del Mar.

Do you have a video of it on the Autocross?

Fritz,

Great seeing you guys this weekend. I was really impressed with the car and how it performed. I knew Curt nailed a 33, but did not know about the cone. They didn't announce that over the PA. The Runt was my pick for SMOY. It all comes down to personal taste and this was closest to mine. The best part was seeing Gerry (sp?) driving it in the winners parade on Sunday. She was grinning from ear to ear and looked perfect in the car. Job well done!

I alternated T-shirts this weekend between my RPM one and my GoodGuys ones... that way I felt like I was a part of the action.
