While I have been worried about the body and frame modifications I have been assured there is no affect on the structural integrity of the body or frame.

Unfortunately, there is now some issue with the tranny linkage that needs sorting out but other than that is should be ready I am guessing some time in June. I have asked for a list of what else has to be done and that is forthcoming. Not sure if this is beacuse I am in China, but it sure is taking a long time.

Hi John. A couple of questions or comments....
1. Looking at your engine description - Roush 511IR with 572HP - I suspect you may be able to comment significantly on my 'How much power is enough' question when yours is on the road....
2. Is your auto to be setup conventionally with throttle actuated kickdown? Even with quite low powered cars, a mid corner change down that might not have been fully expected can easily unsettle the rear end (of the car). And then you're at high speed in reverse. Or getting giddy.
3. Are you really in China?

Cheers,
Glen
