    I find mine has a large performance delta based on temps. Basicaly the car is happy from the mid 50's down. Or maybe its also the lack of Ac that keps me happy at those temps.

    balmy! :)

    Keep in mind, the engine may perform better in those temp but tires do worse.

    As another poster says often, shiny side up!

    Do the cams target hi revs or lo end? Big or subtle difference?

    Hey, whats the big deal ruining the planet as long as you're having fun? Guess if you destroy the earth, you can always move, as you've done 8 times in the last 3 months.

    Man, I so miss this forum as an owner! Posts like this make me nostalgic and abusive.

    Newman! Enjoy that ride! Did you realize your NACA ducts were still red? Just thought I'd point that out. Car still looks fantastic.

    I see your snow is almost all melt, Lucky guys. I still don't like that red scoop :-(

    BTW you should think about taking a ride up north in June for our small indoor show ;-)

    Paul is that the driveway to the new place in the photo?
    I see your new project wreck is waiting for you to work on, is rusting in the front yard!
    Just leave it there and use it for a letter box!! LOL

    Pictures don't even come close to doing these cars justice! You need to stand next to one to truly appreciate its beauty and shape.
