Wow Tony....this season seems to be the most you've driven it. Get in as much wheel time as you can....before you can't.

That is exactly the reason why I am taking it out so much Tom. Last winter was a killer. I think it was about 5 months before I was able to take her out. That sucked. I think I drove it more this year than my first year of ownership. LOL
Plus,..............that 2016 GT350R is looking mighty good. If I could find one at MSRP, (which is not impossible), or even at 2k MAX at ADM, I "may" bite. I need more info on the car's performance specs first, which should be out soon. Plus, if there's a GT500 coming out again, I want to see what's up with that. No one really knows if there is one coming out yet. Gotta be a V8 though, with nice power and torque for me to be interested.

Tony I'm guessing the 350R will be 0-60 in 3.5-3.7, quarter in 11.9-12.1. Not to mention the actual handling!

EXACTLY!!! That is what most people are saying as well. (But, I'd like to hear and read the real world results.) People are posting tops speed at 180 MPH too.
VERY IMPRESSIVE for a naturally aspirated car. Plus, taking corners off the highway!

I went out and purchased a set of tires. These will go on my Chrome FRP&P bullitts for daily driving. I will keep the 20's for when I want to be more aggressive. I'm hoping for a softer ride. We shall see.

September's monthly meet already! After a week of cool (cold!) and wet weather, we were blessed with lovely warm sunshine

Wrapping Kooks headers is a pain in the behind. They don't look pretty but it was the only way I could think of doing them since 3 of the primaries are touching each other. Not too bad for a first timer I guess.

Mark, looking good... so you're back to 18's for daily? Those are classic. Can't wait to to see them on.

More details on these please, as I'm thinking about getting Kooks headers. What kind and type did you get? H/X with Cats too or no? And the heat wrap is just to aid with heat dissipation? Something you chose to do on your own?

Paul, looking good. Although yours is the BEST detailed vehicle there. Tell those people to at least wash their cars

Some pics from the weekend. Marilyn topped with Pinnacle Souveran this time...helped darken/wet the paint. My 2 favorite shots were when I saw the boat/skier come by (I timed it right so they just entered the frame), and the other was the black and white blend. The 2 shots are immediately below:









And here's the rest.































Lastly, bonus...I took a pic of her from my last car show.
