Pics came out pretty damn good man! Was a good time catching up with ya, we’ll have to do it again soon! Looking into a few things, I stumbled into production numbers for the car. They are actually a little more rare then I first thought. 2006 - 1,306 Total - 62 were shipped to Canada - 55 were exported to various countries 2007 - 642 Total - 28 were shipped to Canada - 65 were exported to various countries 2008 - 459 Total - 10 were shipped to Canada - 32 were exported to various countries 2009 - 96 total - 2 were shipped to Canada - 4 were exported to Gulf States (BAHRAIN,OMAN,QATAR,UAE) Total productuion 2,503 Units Trying to find a color break down now just out of curiosity Found it: Total 2008 Production 459 Units – Colors add up to 455 Total 2008 WD0 Platform Containment 15 Units Total 2008 WD1 Pilot Vehicle 36 Units Total 2008 ZR6 Show Vehicle 32 Units Total 2008 VS7 Non-Saleable Vehicle 2 Units Total 2008 Exported Canada 10 Units Total 2008 Exported Other 32 Units Total 2008 Thunder Gray Chromaflair 67 Units (Eden Green 30U) Total 2008 Lt Platinum 139 Units (67U) Total 2008 Black Raven 249 Units (41U) Tango Red/Ebony Interior 58 Units Lt Gray/Ebony Interior 59 Units Ebony Interior 338 Units Engine Block Heater 25 Units (8 were 220 Volt) Sunroof Delete 6 Units So out of 459, only 139 are the same exterior color and only 59 of the 459 with the same interior. Now if only I could find out how many platinum with the lt gray/ebony interior ---

13.7 @ 99.7 was the best I could get put of it today. Having never raced I didn’t think it was too bad. Was fun, and I picked up almost half a second in the 4 runs I got it. Fun time for sure though, I see myself going out quite a bit this year and trying to get down into the 12s ---

Na, I dont think so. I am having some traction issues, I need to find the right combo of traction control and shifting mode. For some reason my car seems to flatten out in 3rd. Ive been told tuning the transmissions on these cars makes a world of difference ---

Reserve is also 15k more then I dropped. If I wanted to buy a mint, low mileage car and leave it in the driveway that would have been it.
