Yeah either Curt or my buddies evo will win. My friend Nick was at the shootout in Norwalk last weekend. On his 120 octane map, Buschur tuned him at 34lbs of boost. Made 628whp on the mustang. Nick turned it down to 30lbs because his slicks are not here yet. He also had a problem with his shortshifter popping out of first gear. He has full weight no stripping. Trap speed at 140.98mph spinning the whole time and battling his shifter. He is putting the stock one back in for this weekend!! Its going to be sick. I figure at 34lbs of boost he should be around 146 mph.

You guys with red, is it hard to take care of? are knicks, scratches, chips easy to spot? Is it easy to keep clean?
I basically have to decide if I want red or silver again.....
Any insights?

There is an underlying story to that post.....after this is all over I will def. post the situation I was put in. Basically im getting a new evo on monday hopefully (all depends on the deal), the only colors they have left is silver, black, and red. I dont want black, to hard for me to take care of. So im not sure which to get? silver again? or red? I was curious to what the red is like to take care of, since I have never owned a red car......
Just looking for some insight......

My wife has a red Audi A4 and I have to clean it
Anyway, it's not too bad - not compared to black! Silver is by far one of the easiest to keep "looking" clean because even when it's dirty you can't see as much of it. Tough choice - I say red though.Good luck

Anyone going to PRP tomorrow night? I want to go, but I've never raced before and I'm nervous. I really haven't even launched my car either. Well, I tried once, but I sucked at it and smelled clutch for 10 minutes 
Can anyone give me any tips - either for the track experience in general or for launching when I get there?
For those that have been there before, what kind of times did you run?
Thanks!
