It's sad to see you long time owners sell. I know it was hard. I sold my first gen for the baby and house thing 18 years ago. I'm betting that there will be a 4th gen.

Lou welcome to the forum.

Because he knows a 2600lb FD with close to 400 sequential rwhp will eat up any Viper on an autocross course - can't mess with the lightweights It's tough to beat the skateboard feel of the FD - but my FD had to weigh over 2800 lbs even with full exhaust - I had 18 inch cements blocks and a full stereo that he planned on removing.

Hey Lou, are you taking care of my baby?

Bryan, good luck down there at your shop - I hope your personal car puts down some awesome numbers like Stephen's did.

I did the 40-70 3rd gear run with a stopwatch a few times - I got 3.5 seconds with the stock turbos running non-seq at 13-14 psi. Not super accurate - but consistently close within .2 secs between runs.

Thanks Barry.

I have something else planned for my FD. Hopefully if things go as planned, I will have the edge on ole Stephen!

Take care,
Bryan
