Hi Bill, thanks for the advice, the reason for the 600HP is because I wanted the biggest, meanest, nastiest sounding big block motor on the block. Heard that one before? I've waited ten years for this baby and now that I am close to retirement its a retirement gift for myself. All the advice I am hearing is eccoing your comments treat this car with the utmost care and respect, so given Bondurant is in Phoenix I plan to take one of his driving courses on how to handle high performance cars. I believe this to be perhaps the best thing I can do immediately after receiving my car. Cheers, tin-man
