do you have another chip to try? I had a chip go bad and a simple switch fixed it.

shot in the dark...could it be something wrong with the torque converter not locking properly?

Thanks guys, But I'm really just looking for a general mechanic, not a GN/T-Type specific shop. I have other cars that need work too.

Yeah, I've been to Lou's before and will probably use him again, but he's probably 2 hours away. I just need a local shop for little things. Not even turbo Regal specific things. If I have a breakdown somewhere I'd like to have a local shop to tow to. Thanks!

Do dynos have a limit to the amount they can measure?

I saw a car launch at Palmdale once and when it popped a wheelie the driver must've freaked a bit because he let off so quick the car slammed hard, with sparks and all. I think it demolished the front suspension too, because I think the car needed help off the track. I don't remember what kind...

somebody should call

great vid, It makes me wonder if pro drivers drive fairly conservatively in their every day life so they keep a solid line of demarcation between their pro driving and their street driving. I could imagine believing in a pinch that your daily driver was capable of more than it was and finding...

...But is there some sort of official registry for these cars? Do we know the situation for many or all of them? Like what percentage are accounted for, wrecked, still driven, sold to foreign buyers, etc.? just curious

Don't count your chickens before they hatch! This guy could be a lousy bum!:biggrin: Just kidding, arrangements have been made. I can't wait to drive it. Phillip
