Thanks guys! Yeah, Steph and I are really busy with our beautiful little girl.

Little by little we are getting our cars where we want them..

I love the DSG color on the Camaro, but I's not the exact shade that it should be and also does not have enough metalflake. It is still up in the air weather we'll be going back to Sebring Silver, or sticking with DSG. Only this time a much better quality paint will be used, and it will be the correct shade.

Somewhere along the lines, her car will be getting some much needed suspension and rear upgrades. It wants to be launched off the limiter so bad

I have a goal of hitting an 11.3x with the H/C, T56 combo....time will tell.

But before all of that, we need to take car of an ongoing optispark issue. I'm really leaning towards doing the 24x EFIconnection conversion to it.

On another note, I recently took my 96 Cobra to a local track event and busted off a 9.74@142

Thanks man! I still have the DSG.......its just a work in progress. I sold the red notch a while back

, but will eventually pick up anothjer for a 400+ cube LS3/L92 swap

Yeah, Steph has always missed the factory Silver. BUT, we may just stick with DSG so we don't have to deal with doing a complete color change again.

This time I wall make sure quality paint is used. The DSG on the cra now just does not compare to the factory color on my cobra. The metalflake is much finer and it just does not "pop" in the sun the way it should. That and the crap clear that is peeling...... My mistake for not buying the pain myself.

Nope! I started out as a GM guy (I had 8 or 9 turdgens), then took a liking to Mustangs and have stuck with them ever since.

I'm more of a "Carguy" then anything.

We'll stick with the low 11 goal with the LT1 for now. Then maybe see how far it'll go with a healthy shot
