Nice to see you too. It has been a long time. Really like the Evo, after all it is my favorite color.

Thank-you on the NSX. It still needs some TLC, but I am very thankful to have it. Sometimes I go into the garage, just to make sure it is still there.

Yeah, no problem Mike. I'm glad she liked it. It's fun showing off what the car can do. I had a great time taking a spin in your NSX. I am still amazed by how low and exotic that car feels. If you do go with the Comptech supercharger I think that'll be your best, most reliable power adder and the car will be just perfect at that point. It, along with the FD RX-7 and the MKIV Supra are the all time classic Japanese tuner cars (that we got over here at least). My dream garage would include all three of those cars.

Yume is almost ready, Cory is working on her as we speak...

BTW, I think I'm going to try and get some custom metal badges made up for the side of the car, label her as an S2400... Anyone have suggestions on a good place to maybe order that from?

So does anyone know where I can buy Amsoil products around Norfolk or am I better off ordering online?

I'm thinking about maybe just getting it 3D printed in metal online somewhere, or I have a friend getting one that'll output plastic and I can just plasti-dip it or spray paint it with rustoleum.

Have any of you guys driven a 2011+ Mustang GT 5.0? If so, what did you think?

I've never been impressed enough by any Mustang I've been in to honestly give it a try. That live axle suspension... just can't do it personally. Might go test driving one day just for the hell of it, though.

My standards are screwy though. I drove the Toyota/Scion FRS and was... disappointed, since the handling on that car wasn't really better than my S, and power was down, with no extra practicality when it comes down to it.

To be fair, some of the new equipment and electronics in the new Fords are pretty darn nice, and it's probably a decent car to live with. But driving joy... skewed standards. I like my S better than a Z4 I tried.

Apparently the 2013 has a little more desirability than the 11-12s. Fast cars, with tons of aftermarket support. If I had 40+k to spend on a new car, I'd buy one.
