I'm finally sober and can write lol! I came back from an all-inclusive for a week in Cuba and then back to back partys with friends... I am almost happy to be back at work!
Seriously, I wanted to take the time to thank everyone involve in this ROTM including the organizer, the participants and the people that voted (especially the ones that voted for me lol).
We are all passionate about our cars and we all like to customize it to our own tastes.
I am happy with my ride and will continue to make her look as good as possible in respect to who I am. I always try to keep a good balance between aesthetic and performance mods. However, at this point, most of the performance mods have been done and the subsequent start to be quite expensive.
Now that I qualify for ROTY, it gives me some time to bring it to another level...
Stay tuned and thanks again everyone, glad to be part of this forum!

Congrats Steve & welcome back .

IIRC, that 12.08 run you did in your old SHO.....

What's the fastest you've run with this current one you own?

Actually it was 12.09 with the 2010 and 12.08 with this one... Still waiting for a more agressive tune from LMS. When Dan tuned it in May 2013, he told me that the stage 4+ tune I was running in the 2010 was far more agressive and that this tune for the 2013 was the best he could do for the short amount of time he had, so he preferred to keep it more conservative. 2013 PP are faster than 2010-12 I believe. This one also has the DP that the 2010 didn'T have... So 11's are still possible.
I ran 12.18 backed up with a 12.20 a couple of weeks ago when temps were around 75F with slight face Wind (DA of 1000-1500, don't remember the exact number).
I am visiting this site very often, just was quiet during winter...
Cheers! and thx

That's cool.

I recall me and Darrell always giving you grief for those Canadian track times / #'s.....

And then you in turn whining about the newer SHO being "too slow"...... Lol as if either of those times are anything to sneeze at.

Loved both of them! Continued successes you crazy Canuck.
