I really cannot get used to the doors closing and not rattling like previous cars I have had. I had to learn not to slam them.
It is fast, but doesn't feel it. I footbraked it. It is like Donato described a couple of years back, stable at speed. The dakota is more eventful, but it runs out of gas @ 1000 foot, this thing runs pulls hard all the way through. The missile if off ICBM duty this weekend in D-1 for rest and relaxation with the wife, kids and hound. Mimosa's and coffee cake here at work. Naperville would have been fun. Returning next weekend @ LV. The windows going up like the street cars, is a bit odd. Seats are amazingly comfy. If you need a worthy recepient for some of those left over parts, I am sure that my old MP test truck dakota would love to step up to GT. You were going to swap the 490 cam out of your DP for a new one? let me know.

As you have pointed out numerous times in the past, the playing field isn't always level. My dakota once upon a time was the #1 qualifier @ Indy when Six ran it, now many years later, it isn't even in the ballpark. The fords will soon be running amock over all the classes. Even the lower HP DP's. Re Denver: I don't know if I could get the wife to do a 2,000 mile trek out to denver, maybe if someone in D-1 is going with room to spare in a stacker, then I could take care of the dukes of hazard move for you in your trailer.

Enjoy it all, it doesn't last long enough.

Eric
