Good morning LSXtasy,
Seems to be the way of things. Even farming is like that. All the time you thing of ways to improve efficiency with field operations, tweeking and so forth so I guess I should not be surprised that we do the same thing with our cars. All mine had CAI's for example, the old Datsun headers, throttle body and camshaft as well so with a car like this I guess it should be natural to me that it gets even crazier!
I've love to do a proper track road course with the car but I'm not sure how often a trip to Edmonton in the car will be for me. Maybe I ought to do it once? I'm sure if I had an enclose trailer and borrowed my friends dieself pickup it would be easier to do.
I do wonder about the logic of having that kind of hp underfoot and how many times I year I will actually get to expereince it full roar. But then again it is also a case of knowing that I'll be able to stomp on anything I'll encounter on the roads in this neck of the woods and maybe that it also part of what I am looking for - simply the knowledge of that being the case and not that I have to be using it ever mile of road I'm travelling on.
I think it is also a case of degrees. Going from my old 280ZX to the Z06 was 3 times the car power and it was shocking. This in the end might be doubling over stock but I really don't think that I'm prepared for what it is going to be like. I'm going to have to stick a block of wood on the underside of the go peddle to make sure, at first, I get accustomed to what this car will actually do.
I'll have to keep in mind the same thing I told my friend when he drove it. Try not to floor it in 1st gear but if you do please make sure the car is pointed where you want it to go!
Let the sacrificing of the Vipers, Challengers and Chargers begin............
Cheers,
Garry
