LMAO......whoever told you that was messing with you. No on LFA... PC-GT was sold over a year ago...... On the GTR.... I am waiting on a body change before I go that way...Never owned a Lambo...no plans to go that way.
I sold EVERTHING except for the G and my DD....the wife traded in both her cars for luxury

Now I have lots of room for my new ??????? and ??????????.

LOL...You are falling behind Gord....The F430 is what was being worked on. The PC-GT was sold and sent to UAE. It had a nasty turbo lag that I did not like....so someone in the middle east wanted it for top end runs. You know how crazy those guys are....they run over 200mph on the freeway

Someone made me an offer on the 430...gave me half up front....I still have it but I kind of consider it sold.

Yes...the RX7 and XKR are gone...I sold the building that they were displayed in also...now I can buy 2 outrageous cars and still save money..:coolie:

I will send you pix...

Yes the triple disc..

Its not the whp that was the problem...its the way the boost came on.....It burned out the Carbonetics triple at less than 700whp DD.Gord or one of the guys that looked at the dyno can explain it better.

Big motor + Big TT+ small radius triple carbonetics clutch = fried clutch.

You will be fine with the Carbonetics.....Everyone felt it would hold the power...and everyone was shocked that it did not....even Carbonetics wanted FP to send the clutch back to them for inspection.

When FP switched to the OS triple....the car would jump the dyno wheel when the boost hit. Strapping it down was a problem.

So losing traction at 80 mph + on the freeway is the norm.

Mike I am doing very well, I am just struggling to find time to finish my car. I can't wait to see some of these new projects. Now that you have all this room no need to get rid of the G. I still want to see it stretch its legs... standing mile or top speed run.
