:knight2:Been driving the roadster lately. What an awesome car! Glad nobody bought it for parts yet. Just raw, no-nanny go-kart driving. Even had the top down today...

sounds like fun!
also sounds like you are feeling better!
Do you have any pictures of the roadster?

That's the pool house, I think. :greenlaff:
A friend of mine took this shot at his house. I let him (and other pals) borrow the car occasionally so when I get it back, it's like a new car to me. They just have to clean it. Good deal all around.
those are some beefy tires in the back....i know you mentioned some specs in another post but tell me what you're running...it looks awesome

It's 245/40/17 in the rear, 225/45/17 in front. No wonder I spin so much... :thumb:
Not sure if I mentioned this a while back or not, but have gotten pretty good at throttle steering in that car. Doesn't take much...

is it also a Dinan?
What's the 0-60 time in minutes if you're stuck behind Rick?

It's a Dinan, as well. Chipped, CAI, high flow throttle body, free flow exhaust, supercharger, stage 3 suspension, lightweight clutch, LSD, front strut brace... That's most if not all of it.
Never taken it to a strip, but I'd guess the 0-60 would be in the low 4s IF you hook up. I've surprised more than a few people pulling onto a 4 lane state highway from a light as they're in the intersection in the far lane and keeping in front of them... Dangerous because if you're not completely straight when you get past half throttle, you'll slide into their lane. R-compound tires help with this. I'm shifting right as I hit full throttle in 1st, iirc... Max traction that way.
My favorite thing to do is cruise along at 40 in 4th, then downshift to 2nd and punch it... :thumb::thumb::thumb:

Sounds like it's a little rocket ship!

Bring it out here and leave it with me for a couple weeks next summer and I'll clean it for ya!
