It's got nothing in 1st gear, but I like the range of 3rd gear.
you can't really do much of anything with SMOG standards in PRCA

Where we are today is simply amazing. TRACTABLE road cars, doing insane top ends, with 10 and 11 second , 1/4 mile times EASILY attained. With may producing 1.0 G or more of handling , with tremendous braking.
The days of "one trick" cars are gone. Now they do it all.
A relatively cheap VW GTI, Sub WRX, Any of the performance Mustangs, Camaro's now are beating the best of the 60's and 70's EASILY, with FAR better braking and handling for relatively low entry prices. Thats even without any mods at all.
Then add the mod's available today....Unheard of performance! Wonder where it will end?
This is a great time to be a gear head!
hell, I'm 31, and even when I was 16 and 17, 10's was FAST. I had a Eclipse GSX that ran 11's and people thought it was fast. Like you said, now these production cars are going 10s stock! It's mind blowing.

The most important part of any mini van purchase is getting rid of those ugly ass wheels.

I have documentation, screen shots of texts, surveillance video of him picking the car up, emails, and still lost.

not as far as I can tell. The majority of my customers are out of state, I don't even know how I would go about doing that. If I lose these two most recent ones I'm going to take them to court. It'll probably cost me more to sue them than I'd be getting back, but this one pushed me over the edge.

For that kind of money, and with the evidence you have in-hand, you should be able to find an attorney to take them on contingency. 30-40%, perhaps, but that's still better than nothing and completely worth it.
Hell, if I were admitted in PA, I'd certainly be interested in the work.
Questions for you:
1) How long do the ramps to get that Aventador on the flatbed? Ground clearance is about an inch, right?
2) What can you do with my Jeep Cherokee? An Audi R7 will never be a "sleeper" in my book, but my Cherokee...

smlsigDid you do anything to the Audi as far as suspension?Those things are pretty nose heavy...
I have driven a modified A10 on the track and that was pretty close to nirvana (except for the Carera GT and the F430 Stradale...)

Even better: Can you make my 2015 smart fortwo electric drive (ED) run like a Tesla? LOL!
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

jeeperxdWhere is your shop located? I have been looking for a shop that can do work on 1997 Viper. I do most of my own work when possible but some things are better left to people that have the equipment such as a dyno for tuning.

P250UA5I really dislike the Audi 7 when they came out, but it's definitely grown on me over the years.
I'd still have an RS4 Avant over the RS7, but I'm a wagon-lover.
And, I'd have either a C63S Estate or E63S Estate over any of the Audis.

FishOnNice work. I too, had a sleeper that ruled. But it was on two wheels.

I was actually going to ask what wheels those are on the Audi.
Might not look too bad on the Sienna

Rob, there's a stroker setup for the 4.0
I did some wrenching on my '87 back in the day and it would keep up with 5.0 Mustangs, FWIW. Sounded like a vacuum coming down the road though with my home-brew ram air setup and no honeycomb in the MAF box.
I love these car build threads.
Gorgeous shop and "patients". The turbo Camaro has piqued my interest too.

We're right in Cherry Hill, shoot me an email anytime if you need anything.

I agree, I love the wagons, it's a shame you can't get the RS6 stateside. I did just do a tune and downpipes on a matte black e63s wagon. Probably my favorite car we've done recently!
