“Traffic attorney on speed dial.” Now that’s funny.

I had to go with a few more HP as the Dodge is on the heavy side, and the wife has more room to bring a bigger purse with her in this car. Ya-see in the Dodge she can bring the purse with the life raft, and the parachute in it.

Those turbos can support a lot of power, well over 1,000hp together.

Hey Cliff, are you familiar with Nelson Racing Engines?

[GTTS > Some]

Nelson RE yes I would love to have a NRE for "The Dodge", but they cost to much, the one currently in "The Dodge", if it was built by Nelson would cost somewhere in the neighborhood of 40k, last time I looked it up. So it's on to the bargain isle, the engine came with the car and the 2-T's cost me 15C. I have to save some $$$$$ on the build, "The Wifey" is picking out the chandelier and drapes this week to coordinate with the bordeaux carpeting and leather ensemble in the main cabin of her rolling suite. Me-has a feeling that I have lost "The Dodge" to "The Girl". Oh well on to the next project....

Everything I've ever seen or read about NREs is that literally nothing is skipped or cheaped out on. Tom seems OCD to the max, I think he lives there 24/7. I think they represent a fair value . . not to be confused with inexpensive for the working man.

A GT-M with one his TT LSXs would be sheer madness. 800+HP on pump gas, 2,400lbs. Even with Gucci aftermarket suspesion you'd still be under $100k.
