I see. I still think you're mixing up a couple stories because USMCrebel calls his Mach "Melanie," not Stone.

Yea, Rebel had Melanie. Not sure what's up with that cat, he has fallen off the map. I had an 04 torch red 5m Mach to start, keep it for about 3 years believe it or not. Then a couple years later I picked up the black automatic Mach. That only lasted about 9 months, maybe a year and I traded it in as a down payment on the S197. Then while I still had the S197, I picked up the DSG 03 m5 Mach. Thats the one I sold to my buddy. I should of kept that one considering I only owed a few grand on it. It WAS mint, with only 20 some thousand miles on it, etc... but the guy I sold it too let his GF hop in it to crank it up. Well, she cranked it up, but then she popped the clutch thinking it was outta gear and put the damn car through the brick pillar between the two garage doors. Luckily it only did paint damage, but still! Guy can't drive it worth a crap either. The best he has ran with it is a 13.88 at 105. My PB was 12.9 at 108. Oh well.

Damn that's right, three Machs! For some reason I was thinking the DSG Mach was the auto Mach.

Rebel probably isn't on much because they just had another baby early this month.

Good run, those HR engines are pretty stout, even in stock form. I think once i get this car tuned in the coming weeks i can hang with them better with my DE engine.

Stone please let me know where I can find a future wife as cool as yours....Thanks buddy!

Thanks guys, the ol' wifer is a pretty laid back chick. Always has been for the most part. She will crack the whip every once in awhile if I get too out of hand though, lol.

Jrock, you ought to be running pretty damn tight with an HR as it sits, but either way I'd think that tune should put you right up there for sure. Are you enjoying it more than the GT?

I hope to bring it to the track within the week and see what it does pre and post tune.

On a whole I enjoy the car better than the 2V. The car has an outstanding mid-range. It handles so much beter and is more confidence inspiring to drive around the twisties. However, it lacks some low-end torque the 2V has, and the great roar of that V-8.
