GT-R is still a dream... Went with an '11 EVO X GSR for now. Have a "few" parts on it. We will see how she does. I am more excited for the Dragon, but it is quick in a straight line too.

Yea, it may be still a dream for me too. I'm kicking around the idea of a EVO X or the new STI sedan until the GT-R becomes a reality.

How do you like the EVO so far?

Contacted XKR recently. He's waiting on a present to arrive - his attendance at ZdayZ is up in the air based on that.

^ I've got a 5AT also. It's a blast running on the airstrip against 6MTs Don't underestimate your car at 500 whp - you'll be able to keep up with the 600 whp 6MT crowd. Just make sure you've got an ATF temp gauge and cooler on the trans cause the cars get hot running back to back down that strip, not to mention the mountain roads are killer on the 5AT...

You mean the viper that kept losing repeatedly and almost took out the plane?

I took this video while, I think, Sandy cheered you on.

Nice. Yeah I have a temp gauge and a huge trans cooler with a fan so no worries there. I have taken it down the drag strip numerous times with no issues. Even if it starts slipping ill just turn the boost down to 8 psi and let it ride. Not really to worried if the tranny roast the clutch packs. Just means its time for a th400 swap.

Took out a plane and nearly took out and a half dozen spectators.

Even should be a blast again this year. As a reminder please get your signups placed online ASAP. We wont be charging the cards until the week before the event but this allows us to properly plan. Not mention the event will likely sell out.
And on-site registrations will not be permitted. It's simply too distracting and time consuming to process while trying to coordinate the safety of the event. Thank you for your understanding.

I would sign up, but I'm sure you could bake a cake before I make it to the end of the runway.

I'll hold you to that! Sign up and we'll find out. We welcome all comers no matter the size of their engine

Sharif beat me to it, but as he stated, please get your payments in ASAP. This event is right around the corner, and we will not be accepting payment and registration on-site at the event.

I knew I should have put in a disclaimer to prevent setting myself up for failure.
