Hey gents. Picked up an 06 VCA coupe (#36 of 50) from Bill P @ Woodhouse! Originally was waiting for an ACR, but with no end in sight, I pulled the trigger on this peach of a car that they had in stock. 298 miles! Beautiful car. Here's a little rundown of how my experience & trip went.
I flew in to Chicago from Tampa @ 8:30pm w/ a planned flight into Omaha @ 9:30pm. Wound up flying out at 2:30am & getting into Omaha at 3:30am. I had a taxi drop me off at the local EconoLodge thinking they had rooms. Of course, I was told they had no vacancies right after the taxi left.
So I wound up sitting in the Econolodge lobby for a few hours. 7am comes around & I'm getting anxious, so I walk a mile down to the dealership. Met w/ Bill & his team. Very, very friendly folks. Mark Jorgensen answered some technical questions I had & then I was on my way to go get the car 3M'ed. Waited several hours to get that done & left Omaha in the car @ 6pm on Thursday. With all stops, gas, & sleep fit in, I arrived into Tampa @ 2am Saturday. 1500 miles! Unfortunately (and nerve-racking...ly,) my trip consisted of about 75% bad rain and/or wet weather. Throw in a ticket for 8 2in a 70 in the great state of Tennessee & there you go.
Back home now. I'll get some pics up soon. Ordered a K&N kit from JonB & have an SCT Programmer from DC w/ a tune on it. Going to do some baseline & after dyno runs. Any feedback on what I should expect from stock & also after the intake/tune?
Thanks guys!
