It's been a long time comming, but I've put about 120 miles on her, and am doing my best to keep from grinnin' like an idiot.

I've given a number of friends and relatives rides already, and set down some pretty good patches of rubber in the neighborhood...not mine, theirs.

I haven't really become comfortable at speed yet...I've got to get the alignment done soon...things are a bit hairy as the car wonders around as if it had its own will. But under 50 or so, I can stick my foot in it long enough to get a quick thrill.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but suddenly 500+ bhp doesn't seem excessive. Then again, I haven't wound it out in either 3rd or 4th.

Well, got to get to bed now, as I'm getting up early so that I have time to take the long way to work.
Congrats!

Wait til everything is set and broke-in and you get cockier.
You will see how 500HP will be plenty.
Be Careful out there.
