    Phil we can only be amazed if Tony takes the car on the track, which I have seen no inclination thus far to occur.
    Tony has nothing to prove IMO, I don't understand the "issues" that appear to be alluded to here. I just want to see another fast Ferrari on the track being used in anger. Whether it is being driven to 60%, like my car, or 110% of its potential is irrelevant. I'm just looking for more F car participation. I am giving up a PIARC day at PI to attend, because I have so publicly made my position known on non participation by FCA members on track days.
    So Ton forget all the BS, just contact one of us if you don't have the relevant contact details and enjoy sharing a day of Ferrari passion with fellow nut cases.

    have you read the WHOLE thread ??

    he has NEVER said one word about touching anything but the engine or tyres

    I must admit I don't find it amazing because if you can get 1000hp or whatever out of a ricer and they hang together forever (supposedly I'm told) then why shouldn't a Ferrari (where the engine is everything) be able to achieve the same

    I'm not sure of it's blow off valves branding, but they're very subtle and quiet, you can hardly hear them at all, in fact it's hard to tell it's turbo'd by ear, as even the exhaust sounds similar to std.

    All questions will be answered on the day...

    if you think Ton would bring his car out to Calder and NOT have it circulating..... how would that help to show the turbo conversion off? It's done enough 1/4 miles in front of the drag crowd to prove itself. A few laps in front of the track boys will complete the approval.....

    His car also has the brembo big brake conversion on front, so it CAN stop ok too.

    Do you have a CAMS license? I have left a message for Doug. If there is room, we can enter your car, with you as driver on my wifes membership. That would just leave ou to sign for a temp CAMS license on the day, which costs $85 from memory.

    Update, spoke to Doug, he will be able to issue temp CAMS license on the day. I have tentively reserved a spot for you. Let me know, as Doug would like an entry faxed through to him by the weekend, so he can organise the paperwork.

    Good point(s). Both not wanting the turbo.. your choice, although you do have the PERFECT recepticle for it

    and your point about CAMS licence too... so if not CAMS, what license would be needed, if any?

    AASA or CAMS licence is required. AASA accepts CAMS licence, but CAMS does not recognize AASA.
