We are confirmed with PTP for saturday the 23rd at 12:00pm.
They said they'll try to have the turbocharged 8 on the dyno so we can watch it make a pass.

Sounds fantastic.
For all those that are going, see you there!

Jon at PTP said their goal was a minimum of 300 horsepower at the wheels. I havent been given the latest update though.
He said they could get 325 easily with the right tuning.

I also asked for an option for a different turbo and he said they'll do anything we want. I already know what their goal price is for this system but I'm not going to disclose it. I will say it's MUCH better than SSR's price.

Just FYI:
This trip is cancelled.

We happenned to schedule the austin trip on the same weekend as rotary revolution and Jon from PTP thought we were coming down this weekend. They're out at RR next weekend so they won't be in town.
They said we could reschedule for another time sometime in the future so maybe next month.

How unfortunate to do all this leg work.

Oh well..
Sorry guys

We will see how all this falls into place and works out. If it is as good as everyone hopes I am sure we could make plans for another one. Although I really doubt next month would work for me. I have a 20th anny so I am already throwing down a lot of money on that.

We'll figure it out. They said we could reschedule just about any time.
Yes it sucks. No one will be there and the car will definitely not be there.

How about lunch at the Oasis instead of PTP???

http://www.oasis-austin.com/

The foods ok, but the view is GREAT!!!!

Another place would be Aunt Tillys at Yacht Harbor Marina where I have my boat.

http://www.aunt-tillys.com/

This is right on the water rather on the hills.

I will start a new thread on these two options.

The Oasis looks good. Out of curiosity, can we bungee jump over Lake Travis? :D
