Post SEMA road trip

[PTAddict]

Well, we didn't get an invite to the Optima Challenge, but at least I got to drive my car home from Vegas to Portland. We trailered it down to keep it clean, but no need to worry about that afterward (see the pics). It was the first time I got to drive it completed, and it's really a sweet driving car. No problems at all.

Ride and handling are excellent, even with the shock settings we used for the road course shakedown. Car is pretty quiet, due to liberal use of damping products from Second Skin Audio. Got 20 MPG for the trip.

Special thanks to Steve at Modern Classics, Kyle and Stacy at DSE for the superb customer service and setup help, and Vintage Air for the SEMA Feature Vehicle invite.

Specs on the car:
- LS7, mild cam, FAST intake, Mast Motorsports M-90 ECU
- D & D Viper T56, Textralia Clutch
- DSE Subframe, Quadralink, and connectors
- Baer Extreme brakes, DSE booster/master
- Forgeline wheels/Michelin PS2 street, CCW/BFG R1 track
- 10 point cage, most bars removable
- Built by Steve Heino at Modern Classics Performance, Lake Oswego, OR
- Body/Paint by Darrell Baumann at DB Customs, Newberg, OR
- Color is 2009 Challenger Hemi Orange

I'll post some more pictures soon. I don't have that many of the completed car, since we were working on it until the day before we left for the show (and isn't that a familiar story).

Thanks. It makes sense you'd like it, since many of the ideas were taken from your car! And Lillard's, and Stielow's, and Rupp's, et al. This forum, and everyone on it, is a great resource.
