    It wasn't mine it was the one completed this week
    (#2 a 6 speed). Think it will appear in July or Aug issue.
    Jason gave me all the numbers but swore me to secrecy
    as they told him not to release info.

    What I can say..after 2 hours of ABSOLUTE thrashing...
    nothing broke.

    I thought to myself is it worth $1200 for a set of tires and
    $5000 plus for a clutch (plus the down time)? SO I passed on the testing.

    Kudos to the South Florida owner (who hasn't even driven the car)
    for letting them thrash it. I wish now I would have let them test mine

    You may want to consider entering your ride in the next Car and Driver's "Supertuner/Supercar Challenge" and see what she'll do against the rest.

    does C&D compensate for vehicle use?

    Don't think so. The test period..they had Chryslers development
    proving track. 1.5 miles long so no top speed run.They had it for 2 hours.
    NO COOLDOWN between runs/tests. Also not a drag strip type pavement.
    No cameras or videos allowed as test mules present.
