Default BDR1077 - On the way ...

Plycar arrives in the morning to pickup Art's Backdraft RT3 Roadster. Finished in Spectra Blue with White Stripes. This color came back last year to the lineup after a long time away and it is already giving Indigo a run. Art was one of the many customers that recently signed on for the VMS 427X offering. I am amazed at the performance of this engine for the money and I know Art will be as well...

A little YouTube of the second drive when I got my dual cam system working:



And some photos before it left:

And thanks for optioning the heated seats, at 43 degrees they make it a little more comfortable at speed...

LOL, glad they worked well, I figure to get some good use out of the heated seats in the bay area, the fog keeps things on the cool side out here

Looking forward to getting behind the wheel next week!

Close, pulled the cam back 1 step. These motors are nice for sure. Being so cold I could not run them out to hard due to ground and tires not loving one another

LOL, the car is a total blast! I've already racked up 60 miles in 2 days and if I didn't have a full day of meetings tomorrow I'd be over a 100 by the weekend (my insurance limit is 3000 miles/yr so I'm going to have to ask my wife to hide the keys!)
