I shouldn't talk so smart. Mines not going anywhere either. 10" of fresh snow, I think it'* staying right in the shop. I'm only turning it around today to install the new throttle body.

It'* all in good humor. There'* a lot of people that could probably beat me in a race. I'm not the worlds best at rolling into the pedal to maintain traction. And the more power you have, the tougher it is to keep from spinning.

Surely you are noticing the foot on throttle vs traction issue.

10-4. I found a dry road when I got the right belt on the SC, and tore them loose on a 35 punch. I'm not used to that...

I've been thinking icy...

Nice thing is with AN fuel lines you can run them into it as well with a nice little added section of line into a copper coil. Plus the intercooler.

Ice is nice. But it'* a track only thing.

Tom.. wait til they tear free and smoke until you let off. You'll have a bigger than great sex grin.
