Can't wait till Sat. so I can break in to the 11s.

Hi Tom,

You got the car back?? How is it?? I didn't see anything on it since the last post...

I had seen the post on the C5Registry some time ago, didn't know what happened after that.

So come on let us know, how is it.. Is the beast ready to go !!!

I can't wait after 9 months I get my car back 2morrow.
Jake called me and it is running as good as new.
Well not new it does have over 400 hp at the rears. I put stock exhaust on it for now. What a sleeper.

I do need a set of Mallet 396 wheels if anyone wants to get off a set.

Brian,
This was not an insurance job, over 5K out of my pocket.
That is why I'm looking for used Mallets. I just don't have the funds for a new set. My Nittos are perfect, the wheels just got trashed.

That's a long time to wait. Don't think I could be that patient. Luckily you have other nice machines to use.
