Don~ Does this car just beg to be drivin hard or what? I swear it is not happy if not getting into the 4000+ RPM zone. When you push it, it goes, imediately. I am impressed. Way. What a great day/night. The most fun was coming home from my Girlfriends house at 12:30am. Nobody on the road, the cops all in bed from a hard day of memorial weekend trafic jams and accidents... Me, hauling *** down the road and the car not even breathing hard. Almost begging me to go faster, give it more. It's a rush.

Only thing I need is better exhaust and I'll be happy...

"HEY SPL!!! Send some loudmouths over here pronto!!!!!!!!!!"

I think the factory sets the cruise control to default to 100mph...

OK, now that you have the Day 1 euphoria behind you... LET'S SEE SOME PICS!!!

Did anyone notice how the seat belt lock ups on you when you start driving the car they way it was meant to be driven?
It's almost as if it reaches out and grabs you holding you in to the not-so-tight-fitting seats. Not too bad a feeling...

Congrats and welcome to the club. I just got back from takin my Redfire baby for a ride. It's an auto trans but its still fun. It gets up to SPEED before you know it. I switch the traction control off every time I get in it. It seems to make for a better feel.

Day two over with...320 miles on the stang...

Nothing but good words from everyone I see, even die hard chevy guys are loving this car.

Recomended listening, by White Zombie the song entitled Black Sunshine. A must for the shaker 1000 when you are slamming through the gears passing somebody on a long straight away with your best friend and a pair of HOTTIES in the car...

I've got pic's, but I have to re-size the stupid things and I don't have a photo edit program on this frikin box of wires...

Soon, very soon...
