Pics from Cars & Coffee: San Jose, CA

I went down to Santana Row today for C&C. Its been raining this past week so the turnout wasn't as large as it supposedly is usually. Still a nice group of guys and cars. A lot of GT-Rs and Z06s.

Oh really? The owner wouldn't get out of his car until his buddy showed up in some italian body/ford engine car (forgot name). It was pretty strange he was just sitting in the car alone for like an hour.

Nice pics! Haven't done a c&c run in a long time. Between you and BOR, I'm itching to stop by our local spot next weekend.

It is a great feeling man. I was surprised to pull on one of those. But then again it took a lot of modding to get where I am right now. And I still have like 50whp togo after Christmas. lol

[/QUOTE]Any plans to run the beast at the track? Sounds like you could be another to make a 10 second pass [/QUOTE]

Ya I ran at the track at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma and rana best of 12.3 at 115mph. Pretty slow because I was on V12 Hankook's and the track conditions were not optimal. I would like to run at Sacramento Raceway because thats where E55s run 10s I've heard. Once I get my 82mm, TTM Fuel Rail, and Separated Cooling as well as a Jeremy retune, I think I can break into the 10s one day. O ya, I NEED A DRAG SETUP!!!
