Yes, I notice you rolling into it, but the car seems to be running great. What kind of tires are you using?

Love the pics and vids. I wish chris could do a shoot for me

Thanks man, Apreciate the nice words. I am running Ventus V12 I believe, they seem to be doing OK, I might switch to a Toyo R888 tire, If I could find them in 19's.

Thanks Luis! We will meet tomorrow, probably in the morning so I could give you a ride in her...

. I tried to turn the boost today but there was not enough run way... She needs to stretch her legs.

Thanks Bro. No pulls with the stock 65, there were cops around today and we did not want to end up locked up for the Memorial Weekend.

Thanks Sean! She squats nicely! The Airmatic will come in handy at the track. I am dying to go to the track but I know my rear end will stay at the line If I leave hard... I am trying to see If I reinforce it next week.

She will just be called an EV12 for now. I am more concerned with the track times she will run. After that I will choose another name for her...

Absolutely gorgeous and well worth the wait I'm sure. Did you use "ZR1 blue" for the calipers? They're perfect for what I want on my V, and any info you can provide about the powdercoating of the calipers would be much appreciated.

I've been following this thread and seeing the updates of the beast up/running now. So glad to see you get the misfires resolved. The videos of the whining throughout sounded so sick. Def will surprise many folks on the road and on the track with your EV12. Look out everyone!!!
