Aiming for 130whp!

I'll run the car if there are spots free. I would rather let others who actually need the time to run before me.

Well if some of them don't want to head out at midnight we'll be leaving around 6 or 7am

So I know it's Battle Born QUATTRO, but any prejudices about making it Battle Born FWD? Starting to get a little late stage and the Coupe isn't one color yet, so I may be joining along in the GTI. It gets 30mpg and has A/C while still being pretty quick and a blast to drive, not a bad second choice.

No, we will just put you in the group with the TT's

Judging by what Hank's been doing, that will probably be among the fastest group there :p.

Yeah, wait, can I be with the TT group? Please.

PLEASE.

Knowing our group we'll drag behind like usual anyways .I think our plan is 2-3AM just so we can get down there around 10. My roommate cooper want's to do some stuff early to his S4 with my bro before the festivities happen. I'll let you know if we do change plans to leave later.

I just get this feeling that friday is going to be a zoo at the shop. lol

The VAG gods are conspiring against me so I don't bring a non-VAG product. I've now had 4 different places cancel my order for a radiator for the Merc, I'm pretty much at the point where OEM is the only option at $350+ and who knows when I could get it. That and I'm troubleshooting a hard-start issue with CIS. So, I might be in the VW again...At least I'll have a vehicle to haul my CF hood home if they get through customs by the BBQ.

On a more positive note, I planned my route and it's at about 2700 miles round trip plus whatever I drive in Vegas. Should be fun!

I'm not giving up just yet, remembered that I had an extra Griffin sitting around for the Porsche!
I still have a hard-start issue I need to diagnose before I feel comfortable...
