To me that's awesome! I'm thinking about selling my roadster and getting a srt-6 or a slk55. I have customers dropping off cars for me to work on this weekend or I'd ride over with my son. I had a 11 second daily driver about 15 years ago, I'd like to have one again.....

That one is a bit out of my range, and I don't fit in coupes (6'6"). I think if I get a srt I'll just do pulleys and a tune, the slk..... Not sure. Most likely I'll just hang onto my roadster tho, it's ok once it gets going and she's still a baby at 50,000 miles. I still have the itch tho, maybe I should fix my single turbo rx-7 that has been in storage 20 years, lol.

Hey Jim...I’ll be in Marco after New Years if you are running it, I might pop over and check things out. Won’t have the cars down though. I have a roadster that broke 12 seconds if you ever get interested DualSportDad. Has all the nice mods, the proven ones. Unfortunately I am going to have to get the dreaded rear window glued back it. It let loose sometime this year and I just noticed it. Carry on fellows. I hope to move to Marco in next few years. If not, Ft Myers might be my next look...

We'll have to see how selling my car goes. I'd really love to have a area blue coupe like yours, I think that is one of the best looking cars ever. Too bad I don't fit in coupes!

Bring the car down and have me put a top on it, I have them in stock 😀

If he runs the car while your down here and I don't have work lined for that weekend or my son your more than welcome to ride over with me in my roadster.

If you're moving to this area Marco is nice so is Sanibel, some parts of cape Coral (It's pretty much all ok, just normal homes), Alva and punta Gorda.

Hope that cloned tune works out for you. I've got the DCAI, larger throttle body and inlet sorted out in a tune but the SC cuts out when I run the 80 MM VRP SC Pulley, found a tuner out of Atlanta Race IQ Performance. Just need to find the time to get it to the dyno in KC and book some time with him.

Hey neighbor I'm a Palm Beach resident now. The military can't tell me where to live anymore I'm ready to drag race again. I heard some one kicked me of 1st place in drag times the site by gutting their car. Now in 2nd after 11 years. Well my drag tires only have one race left. I replaced all my nitrous solenoids, the fuel pressure seems so so. I have a gauge I can run on from the OBD2 port. Next Friday is my test and tuned drag day. If all is well I might race
PM me if I don't respond thanks
