Thank God you are sitting on that "work of ART". Many guys are selling out. Larry at Fairfield Car Clinic sold all of his GN's. Jim at ALL TRAC is somewhere locked up. It is very hard to find anyone who still drive their car. I have seen some familiar cars with 20-24 wheels on them

boosted 6&8 do you live here in Alabaster? I drove the car today on 12 psi and man does that thing pull good. Its hard to see over the hood the way that thing stands up with no sway bars on it.
