I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Ya. 120 comes as easily as 70 did before. I'll see what the weather does and see if I can get a video

Just for future reference and shits and giggles. This is some of the other paperwork they gave me.
Re: This can only end poorly
Good advice.

Warm engine. Drove for about an hour or so. Couple quick blips to 4k rpm.
Going into winter storage mode starting tomorrow. Snow in the valley with a few inches here at the house and up to 20 in the mountains/hills around the area over the weekend in the forecast.
Going to be on a maintainer through the '"cigarette lighter" but might take out the battery completely instead and hook it up directly. Haven't decided yet. It is recommended on the forums to pump up the air in the tires to 40 for over the winter. Currently at 30. Not sure if I will.

Re: This can only end poorly
I've never over inflated my tires and I've never had problems with flats potting. I don't think it would hurt, but I also don't know if it's necessary if you're not on Cup tires.

Re: This can only end poorly
Listening to videos with cams make me jealous. But ugh. So expensive for little return on investment without other major mods at my current levels.

Took it out of the garage today. Just to get it up to operating temp and make sure everything seemed OK. Gave it a few revs. Hearing that supercharger put a big smile on my face. Can't wait to take it out this weekend.

Re: This can only end poorly
Quick Photoshop idea. When I was at the tint shop for the Tundra they had a matte black C8 in the back they let me look at. Closest I have been to a C8 so far. Awesome car up close. That said, we got to talking about my vette and discussing wrap prices. For about $700 he can do this and I am debating on it at some point just to give it something different instead of plain silver. Thoughts?
As it sits now:
What I would do:
I have also debated on a full wrap and make it a cool color, but since I plan on racing it and driving it hard, not sure if worth that full investment.

Re: This can only end poorly
I like the roof and halo look, but I wouldn't do the hood. It looks weird where it joins the bumper.
Maybe a stinger style stripe down the middle?
I kind of like this style , without the goofy Jake logo.
