Well I really enjoyed that run. Great roads, great scenery, great company...

The drive from lunch back to the highway was the best I've had in a long while, and the pace was pretty well spot on. Thanks for leading that charge JBT :)

Made the long drive and the long day well worth it. I'll be back for any club run that goes through that part of the world again. :D

Oh no, Jules, Mikey's beast (and mine) is still 20KW short of SP power... 8)

I think Mikey's turned the wick up a bit since you last spoke with him. 8)

Just under 10psi.

And yes Arthur. You are going to have to pry your car away from me.

Dyno tuned at 9PSI and 105-110rw kW last I heard. :D

Jules, that is 35-40 kW more than standard, it's pretty good isn't it... 8) You need to test drive an SP. :mrgreen:
