No S2K for Wintergreen. The head gasket will not be here till Monday. I can not rush the tuner to make this install correct.

So, I have Three choices:

BMW M3 Vert



or

Corvette ZR-1



or

2005 4Runner Sport with Navigation
Also, If I bring the 4Runner I can bring a Spugen Oval / Oval Exhaust that I am selling

Billy,

Sounds like FUN!

You have swapped out the "diff" already haven't you?

I would love to "upgrade" with either mods or a Cayman or Z06. But the thought of retiring at some point in "the not too distant" future is more appealing to me at this stage in my life.

Looking forward to seeing you both at SF07.

Why stop with 500 hp? Ford Racing has apparently conjured up some Super Snake

Billy, I know you are as car crazy as I am after talking to you at the G-burg meet and this isn't ment as flame. However, I personally don't believe big power is really a good path to real-world driver satisfaction. IMHO there is only a handful of production cars like a Carrera GT that are really build from the ground up to handle 500 hp. As much as I love cars I honestly can't fathom having that much hp in an S2000 and enjoying it. You will have to keep us posted on the outcome.
