Well said. Kong is not caught up in the dyno number.

Nice to meet you at TI

AutoWeek JUST sent emailed this story in their Daily Drive.

However they state you blew a tire?

Curious about the carbon fiber wheels, cost and what your impressions are of them (as reported by AW).

I see you have Torco listed on the car... do you use their Accelerator product by any chance...

Also, is this RWD with the Ohlins suspension...

Fantastic save, Kong. Between the sphincter pucker and the adrenaline flush, I think I might have spontaneously combusted. Good luck getting it fixed.
