    That is great. The car sounds good too. Its a great feeling to take it out for a drive after so much work and just know that it is alive.

    It was exhilarating driving it - it got some funny looks only about 1/4 mile from my house. I can't wait to take it around everywhere!

    I will tell you though - based on the minimal amount of driving so far, the 2.9L is way torquier than the 2.5

    With or without the vette wheels ?

    Gosh, sounds like a bigger engine than a 535 even... It's fascinating hearing the turbos whine.

    Yep - got the weld rears on in that video - waiting on the spacers for the fronts

    As for when I get rowdy with it... well, still need to get my exhaust made and new ECU in. Then it gets SERIOUS.
