I recieved my car on friday from Doug and all I can say "WOW". This car is PERFECT. The workmanship is incredible. The car is FAST! The tach runs up so fast I'm going 125 in a flash. It got here Friday just in time for me to get my inspection sticker for the weekend.
I took the high flow cats off & put in straight pipes on Saturday & she sounds sweeeet! I can idle out of my neighborhood without being too loud & when I put the pedal down she sounds MEAN!

I wanted a DLM car, but I needed a car my wife would still get in & not ***** that it was too loud or rocked back & forth. I got the best of both worlds. 857 rwhp in a car that is a little bit of a sleeper. Nothing like going under a overpass & stomping it, the sound is incredible. The acceleration is like a rocket!
I am still getting used to the power, so I have not got too crazy yet but its all coming back to me know.

I love my boost gauge!!

I also had Doug install an Autoform roll bar, harnesses, Pilot sport cups, & a Mopar spoiler.

Thanks Doug Levin, you made me the perfect car!

Congrats Andy, but I believe that the only one wearing a diaper will be you when you lay into the power on this baby. DLM do do nice work, don't he?!?

Quit smiling and try to :

a) get back to work
b) eat
c) sleep
d) all of the above

Congratulations Andy! There's nothing like 850+ HP to put a smile on your face.

Thanks Guys, my daughter infected our home computer with a virus so I can not even get into the internet from my house until computer is fixed.
A little more practice & i'm going to buy a camera mount to log a couple kills,on a closed course. The car sounds relatively tame at low RPM.

Thanks 96 GTS, My dad used to drag race & Drag boat race. He sold his drag boat to a friend & he said something I will always remember. "Just because you own a drag boat now, that does not make you a drag boat driver". His friend sank it the next weekend.

At 39 yrs old, I should have died in a car many times, I guess the older you get the thought of your mortality is a little more prevalent. I put 250 miles on her so far & its all starting to come back to me now. She is definately a different animal now!

Thanks
Andy
