Congrats Tom, awesome numbers. A 1000+ hp Monte was probably quite a site (and sound).

It was incredible man, I tell you.. pix and vids do NOT do it justice. Standing behind it felt like standing in the middle of an F4 tornado! Or atleast I imagine a tornado could be that mean!


BTW, at the end of the Monte video, the dude to my right is fellow TMS'er "dly" (had his Saleen 'charged GT/CS) and the gent to my left is 70MACH1OWNER (had is '05 'Vert with various bolt-on mods).

Along with Leo, I've seen the SHR louvers in person (off the car). I think they're 'okay'. If they were made of glass instead of plastic, maybe I'd like them alot more.

Who knows though, if I see them installed on the car, just may change my mind about them.

Do you use one of these? If so how do you like it?
I had an Odyssey battery in my SeaDoo. It did what it was supposed to, start the engine.
It eventually died and had to replace it. Got a regular lead acid and a Battery Tender, and all is kosher now.

It's the great wheel swap of the Century. That's all I can say about that.

I really like SHR louvers and I would also like to see them in person. They do look good in all the pictures I've seen.

It was the TacoBill & Jed show today!

Went to the Customer Appreciation/ Carshow/ Dyno Day at GTR (Jed's install shop), then off to that Car, Wing & Rotor show.

I'm pooped to the max! Jed's get all the pics, but not sure if he'll have time to post any up. He's also getting ready for SEMA.

Almost forgot... rode in the Roush all day, the power of the KB..

Well, you don't need 5K in the checking account to get it!

When you see my rear wheel numbers, it'll be hard to not get some sort of forced induction.

Well, I'll need it from somewhere...

I could definitely feel the pull when he mashed down on the Go Pedal! When I stomp on mine, the acceleration is more linear. But with the FI, it's starts pulling exponentially, if that makes any sense.

Yes, that was the show.
Parking sucked, at least the logistics of it. Had to take a school bus from the parking lot to the airfield.
Lots and lots of cars (all makes and years), but some started clearing out by the time we got there.
Charlie was there from 7am, but still looked chipper as always.

Didn't see too many static planes (besides a C-17.. big wow), but there were several twirlie birds.

Bill forgot to mention the Asian honey! I think 30K people went to this show but it was slim pickens as far as babes on the base . I know SEMA will make up for this short coming! I'll try to post a little more later I have to do laundry for the Vegas trip!



Here's that C-17 That Bill was talking about...
