Nice, Scott. Lookin great with the blue/gold!

I'm jealous, even with the knowledge of what you had to go through to reach this point. I hope it turns out to be worth the effort for you.

That's the number they use for every car... I'm not sure why.

Last time my car was on the scales, it weighed *exactly* 3000 lbs, with me in it.

Congrats on getting the car back, and on those numbers.

After all you went through I would have been ready to kill someone. Hell I am ready to kill someone after what I went through and it was nothing compared to what you did...

Hope all that time spent waiting is worth it. And by looking at those numbers and that picture, I'm sure it will be.

A TD06 would have gotten those numbers... but the TD05 gives up some peak numbers for responsiveness. I've *very* happy with the power output from the car.

They would have been done before this season if the engine work hadn't taken so long and cost so much.
