It's home now! I drove it home the long way but it was still too short of a drive. I love driving this thing. Tomorrow is questionable weather so I put it right into the garage tonight, but after that the next few days are going to be gorgeous so I'm driving it as much as possible.
Throttle response feels awesome. I've never had a car with such fast throttle response. Bob, maybe it's the auto trans like you said but it seems if I give it a good dose of throttle from a dig or almost any speed it'll light up the tires. I have yet to play with putting much heat into the tires to see how they hook with a hard launch but the rears are M&H drag radials and quite sticky so I'll play with that this weekend. I'm super happy with the exhaust, though I'm hoping some of the potential expansion problems you guys mentioned don't show up. I really think with the flex hangers (other than at the far rear) and bends it will absorb any expansion but we'll see. With the pipes running all the way to the back now, when I'm cruising it's very noticeably quieter than it was before with the ZZ4 motor which dumped in front of the rear axle. But when I blip it or hammer the throttle the exhaust sounds perfect!
Still practicing one baby step at a time so I don't kill myself.
