I HAVE BEEN A LOGING INTO THE SITE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, AND HAVE BEEN ENJOYING EVERYONES FANTISTIC KNOWLEDGE AND CREATIVITY. I'M LOOKING FORWORD TO INSTALLING THE "LOGAN FACTOR", BUT I MAY HAVE TO GO TO 4.56'S . I LIKE THE 0-80+ THING AND DON'T PLAN ON ANY LONG HIGHWAY TRIPS. I HAVE COMPANY PROVIDED DIVERS FOR THAT. ANYWAY TO THE STORY.

STOPPED WORKING EARLY FRIDAY. HAD TO GET THAT BIG BLACK CAR ON THE ROAD BURNING 93. ABOUT THE TIME HE WAS GETTING ALL WARMED UP, A PORCHE COMES STROLLING ALONG SIDE SO I DECIDE TO AIR OUT THE CANNONS. I KNOW THEY WOULD CARBON UP IF I DID'NT RITE?:) SO I DEPRESS THE OD LOCK AND KICK IT A GOOD ONE. THE PORCHE DRIVER DID'NT EXPECT THIS NOT REALLY A COP CAR WOULD GAIN THEN PASS HIM SO QUICKLY. AFTER PASSING WITH EASE I LET OFF @ ABOUT 80+ AND COAST BACK. OF COURSE ANY SELF RESPECTING PORCHE DRIVER WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT HIS CAR COULD TOP END MOST. HAD TO RESPOND AND DID. SO WE SHOWED EACHOTHER THE BENIFITS WE SAW WORTHY IN THE CARS WE CHOSE TO PURCHASE FOR FUN.

WELL WE BOTH FOUND OURSELVES AT THE STOP LIGHT AT THE END OF THE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. AND I LOOKED OVER TO SEE A VERY LARGE MID AGED MAN WARING A WHITE BALL CAP COVERING HIS HAIRLESS HEAD AND SMOKING A 3" STUB OF A CIGER. NOT ONLY WAS THE DRIVER OF THE PORCHE'S SMILE AS BIG AND PROUD AS MINE WAS. BUT IT TURNS OUT IT WAS JIM JANOS AKA:J. VENTURA. HE WENT LEFT AND I RIGHT.

Good story :) Hope I get a chance to say "Hi" to the Gov too.

Keep me posted on your mods, I live in Roseville and am trying to figure out who I am going to have do my mods. My regular mechanic just about drooled when I asked if he was interested in installing the 4:10s.
