Jody,
PM me with your phone number. I'll give you a call and answer any questions.
John,
Today we were out testing some revised electronics. (Damn cold in a car that doesn't have heat or side windows) Anyway, we took the opportunity to speed up shifts at WFO. Too fast and you get crazy wheelspin. When set properly, you tap that right paddle and the trans just clicks off a gear change--just right: BANG! The rpms drop but the car doesn't give up any forward momentum. No time wasted rowing gears or dancing on pedals.
Then you lift, switch to auto mode and answer your cellphone.

try that with your tko.

I'm not in a hurry Steve. I can only imagine how time-consuming starting a co. can be. I can't wait to tell you some of the updates so far.

Steve, when I spoke to you a couple weekd ago, you thought you be ready to ship by Dec. 15th. Still on schedule?

I can relate to this cold!!! Only good thing about this weather is the extra Hp you can make! Took my 420 ci C5 out for a final spin yesterday and it nearly put me in the weeds at 90 mph! Snow will be here soon!

JP, thanks for routing me to Steve for the shifter. It made it easier to accept the fact that I am going to an AUTO.

Yup. Still on target. I'll be at PRI. When I get back I just have to figure out packaging and instructions. So Dec 15th--maybe Dec 20th. Yeah, I was getting crazy wheelspin in every gear while speeding up WOT shift firmness, so I backed it off a little in the programming for the 1-2 shift. Muz be the air.

Sorry to have hijacked your thread, Howard. Your car looks awesome!!

Yup,

I remember well Steevo and me when we first started getting acquainted:

Steevo: JP, so what kind of styling do you plan using for II Much?

JP: uh .. I was gonna paint the car blue with gray interior.

Steevo: (smacking head, realizing he would have to use small styling words from now on): Ok, spend an hour and tell me what kind of things you like -- not female body parts -- you know: car thingies. What kind of racing ... what kind of music .. what colors ...

JP: (realizing he was in way over his head) umm ... can I get back to you?

Kidding aside: yes, it was worth the wait. Just keep bugging him about it. He likes that.

Default Tony Woodward told me not to ...

... answer my cell phone while driving a car with one of his racing racks. He said answering the cell phone or changing tracks on the stereo would result in a lane change.

So I'll have to rip through my gears using my easy as pie QuarterMaster 8.5 inch dual disc clutch and lightened flywheel that reduce parasitic loss to an absolute minimum (they said maybe 12%???) ... and then pull over to answer the phone.

That's hilarious. People that have talked to Steve know exactly what you're saying. Every time I talk to him, I feel so... Midwestern. LOL
