I have about 200 on it now, but in all likeliness...

I will have sold the car before it hits 500.
Who didn’t know that! LOL!

Yup...David's buying in and getting back into the game.

I heard he needs something to mount all his Cragar sale stock onto for pics. LOL!

You’re telling me I’m supposed to wait 500 miles before I beat on my autogear?? I don’t have that kind of self control… your car rules

My M23 got beat on around the 2nd or 3rd drive. I've been dropping the clutch at 7000 RPMs with slicks and shifting with my right foot on the floor ever since. I had to go with Amsoil MTG oil because of a thrust bearing issue.

You know...I spent three full days this week narrating video and prepping all the marketing materials and pictures to move this car along. Then I came back in here to read this thread... and then wham!

FULL STOP.

So, what then happened to the grand idea of selling it? Simple answer! One good look at this thread from the beginning. I wasn't 40 pages into this thread when I said holy crap man...there was some amazing work that went into this car. Realization...

The car cannot be sold!

Chas,

To be completely honest...there have been a few traction control tests performed while the car was being setup.

I couldn't believe it when I read you were already thinking of selling it. About time you pulled your head out and looked at what you have. TENS of THOUSANDS of people would give their left arm for a car that nice.... They would need the right arm to shift...
Congrats on your decision to keep it..
