thinking of driving from NYC to FL to visit sean sometime in mid January (if Sean is available). Any takers? N.Y.C to ROE/FL = 980 miles 15 hours at avg 55 mph which means we'll make it there in about 12-13 hours non stop.

Dimitrios - I noticed your post a few weeks ago about your troubles on your setup. You had me worried for a bit. I hope you get things worked out... I would certainly suggest heading down. I am sure Sean and Dave have mine running top notch! Good luck on getting her tuned just right!!!

Hey D / brother Roe blower, I'm visiting Roe Racing in New Year too, pm or email me about it, would be cool to hook up with you, I think we both have heavy right hoofs! I also have a good program for the VEC that may suit your driving style! Took alot of on-road tuning to get it right for me, I've learnt alot, and I was lucky enough to ****** Chris from DC Performance when he was over visiting to help get it right. Stick with the Roe, once you have a good program, there will be no looking back! Do you have the OE map output hooked up to the VEC also, this helped loads dialing in mine, and have you the serial port hook up in car to hook up a lap-top to dial in / monitor set up on the move?

adam mapquest said 15 hours and 30 mins for a 980 miles drive.

You may not know, but speed limits tend to increase as you go south and west from the New England region. In Virginia, there is a lot of 65 MPH highway on I95, and I95 gets up to 70 MPH in South Carolina, for instance. Thus, figuring you are driving ~10 over, you're average should be in excess of 55 MPH, even including rest stops and traffic slow downs, typically.

only thing that slowed me down the two times i drove down there was all the gas station stops.

other than that its an easy drive for the day.

Let me know when you guys are in town, and I will swing by. It takes me about a half hour to get there.

Hey D-
How about you come down here to Virginia Beach? Nowhere near the trip to Sean's!!!

Now....all we have to do is convince Sean to come to Virginia! :) I have Orbitz open in another window, waiting to book his flight! I can even manage some good lodging!! And, I have a friendly dyno shop handy! LOL

Well....it IS worth a try!! LOL!!

Hey D:

Any updates? Need to know the dates for the trip so I can see if I can get off of work and if it is before school starts again. Also is Rose joining us? I think Dana will be attending as well if I go.

I try. Just like knowing plans. I am anal like that remember LOL! Well, once the dates are established let me know. I am thinking of driving down with you but will probably stay down there for a few days and then come back. I figured I might as well enjoy FL for a little while. :D

midnight is a tough time to leave sometimes. you have to plan your times around washington DC. that area is the worst spot on the ride down. do NOT be there from 7-9am

Road salt and Vipers do not mix!! Throw in a little sand and you have a nice combination. I would wait until Spring if it were me.
