Looks awsome Jon!

The pipe on that VRP exhaust looks huge! Can you have C2D record a video clip of the idle and acceleration from a standstill on your car.

Can't wait to hear the roar on that thing.

Looks great bro.

You will have no problem hooking up at the track with those.

If those wheels go 10 seconds on a third vehicle they will become famous.

Albert...I had them polished and they are looking purty...they will have to wait about 6 weeks until I can rack up some break-in miles...

Thanks amgfan

Now everyone can see my ugly mug. lol.. do i need to sign a modelers consent. Even though everyone is looking at your car and engine. How did it sound last night? I got about 25 miles in it. But didn't want to utilize the skinny peddle until break in is complete.. Hope all is good and we will see you soon. drew

Andrew...I posted it somewhere else that it sounded like an A10 Thunderbolt tankbuster shooting it's gattling gun...after you get past 2500rpm all hell breaks loose.

Tell Chris...no leaks on my garage floor this morning!!!!!!

Guys...Andrew is the top guy @ C2Design and did all of the install on my engine and does most of the work in Chris's shop. He has worked on everything (BMW, Porsche, MB, etc...) so he is a great resource on this board....
