I have a little bit of a hook up but I have all the details at work. There is one set of Potenza RE760's available for cost, I was debating them but I do't think I need that much tire. PM me if you are interested and when I get to work tomorrow I'll get you the details. Also, don't hold me to the model number, I might have it wrong.

Heat if an enemy of the 8. 240degree F. is a killer. An operating temp of 180 to 200 degrees is ok and not an engine killer. On the recent meet tour my temperature stayed at between 190 and 200 degrees until after the meet. On the way home the temp got to 230. I can't figure it out, I have just about every extra cooling devise you could have and still it gets hot.

Yup, all quiet. AJ and Armin were over last Friday and worked on my car. Armin completed the interior work he was lacking and AJ mounted my charge canister. What a job - it looked easy but was a bitch. I forgot to give something to AJ also, I was tired when they left and just plain forgot. This week end is also a busy weekend as Ray will be down doing a quick install on some much needed parts. Maybe I'll see AJ this weekend give it to him.

I haven't seen another copper red 8 other than mine in Vegas either. There are only about 300-400 of them ever produced if I remember correctly.

Anyhow, I would get with RMXG8 if you want to stay N/A and get faster or get with Phil's 8 if you wanna go supercharged or turbo to get faster. They can both help you in your quest for the 1/4 mile and pinks. lmao

What are your times?

Actually except for the home building industry, every other aspect is stagnant not bad but not real good.

If your depressed then you must be in the home building industry as just about every other corner of the Vegas economy is in fair shape.

What do you find bad with the economy? I'd be interested. Maybe your unhappy with your current job and the job market is slow but you should have a job so it's not that bad.

Actually it is good for my business right now. We are always busy but now we are double busy.

The peeps that are having it bad right now are the home building market, peeps that handle low end loans and sales peeps that handle high end products. The hotels will tell you it's slow but ask them what their occupancy rate is right now and they should say in the high 90s. Most that got layed off during the scare time are back to work now.
