Just one button...
- windows drop 6"
- auto unlatching, & top drops in 10 sec... no extra tonneau covers or trims

It is an absolute blast to drive......
But I can't wait to get her broken in to see what she'll really do.
The S54 M engine just pulls & pulls.. the more you feed it the more it wants.

Handling is incredible....
It's amazing what dropping 400+ lbs off the weight of a G35 does for you.

Guess it won't be long now for you & Wayne to get your new rides.....
I can't wait to see some Garnet Canuck pix
Glad to hear you are enjoying it Ian.....it is such a beautiful roadster. You are going to have an insane amount of fun with the M on the Tail of the Dragon!

Nice Ian. That's one slick package you're describing. The spring will not come soon enough with a broken in engine and warmer, dryer roads.

I can only imagine what 400 less pounds, 50 more horses and a superior suspension would do.

Can't wait to really have a close look at it.

Looks like you're tracking her every move every day..... I don't blame you. I'm like that myself.... I think you told me her ETA is mid December, and by the looks of that sched, that' sounds about right including rail time.
My guess is you'll say something when she arrives in GTA....probably

......LOL, and you could get Deane to go down to Halifax Harbour the day it arrives there and supervise its offloading....... (and while he's there he may as well make sure it's still starts and runs ok around the track..... )

Not long now.....only about 3 weeks....

Good stuff Kevin,

Hehe, I would be happy to go down to Autoport in Eastern Passage to check out Kevin's car. Only about a 12 minute drive from me.
