I\'m dying here!

I'm convinced Doug Levin is deliberately torturing me. Consider the facts:

FACT: he sends me pictures of the car -- gorgeous pictures -- almost every night, but I can't post them until VOI because they reveal too much;
FACT: he's started calling me multiple times a day and letting me listen to the sound of the car starting up and idling -- sounds like a MEAN jet boat with those Corsas and no cats, not to mention the lumpy cam and the ominous whine of the turbos;
FACT: he's let other customers look at the car and admire the workmanship, but I can't see it because (as he knows) I can't spare the time to fly across the country more than once this month;
FACT: Doug's taking my car to the dyno in the next 48 hours, and we'll finally see how much power this beast makes, but I'm sworn to secrecy on the figures until -- you guessed it -- VOI;

So Doug, if you're listening...

from what I've seen it will be worth your wait. Is it going to be s/c or turbo? Was the turbo comment a slip or a secret?

Re: I\'m dying here!

Ben,

If it's any consolation, there are a few of us who would be happy to have the spare change to transform our cars into the menacing beast that professor Levin is creating in his lab (I mean shop) for you.

Rather than torture, you might think of it as being a series of small Xmas cards leading up to the big gift at the end.

Re: I\'m dying here!

As if to add insult to injury, it's now wall-to-wall thunderstorms out in Miami beach, which means no break-in miles and no dyno runs today. Arrrrghhh!

Maybe I'll have Doug play the car over the phone again to get my 'fix'

Re: I\'m dying here!

Give us a couple of days to get T.D. (Tropical Depression) #9 out of the way. Lots of heavy rain but it's heading away northward (actual northeast) in the Gulf of Mexico. Going from an Official 80% chance of rain here tonight down to 40% and then to 30% over the next 2 days. Live radar below.

Re: I\'m dying here!

Jeff -- That's good news. Doug was actually going to take it out this evening during a lull to put on some break-in miles, but it started raining again. Tomorrow I'm sure he'll get the chance unless the forecast changes, so hopefully tomorrow PM it'll be on the dyno and I'll have some empirical evidence to back up the math we've been doing on this setup.

John -- to borrow a phrase, "sometimes a red herring is just a red herring"
