Guess what was in work today!!!!

Some dude who has a Lotus Esprit (turbo), a Lotus Elise, and numerous other toys showed with his brand new M5. OMG!!! The brakes were as big as the wheels on my car. I wanted to touch it. Oh, and the guy is surprisingly cool for having big time cash. I talked to him about his Esprit.

He says the cat is right after the turbo, so you need to gut it. His mods in his words: "Well you gut the cat and crank up the boost. Factory is 7-9 lbs. I run 23. On factory internals with factory fuel system. These cars have 2 injectors per cylinder so fuel is no problem. I out accelerate 360 Stradale's. I out accelerate and out brake 911 GT2's."

The Stradale is a factory Ferrari race car, and the GT2 is the most outlandish road going Porsche built since the 959.

My response is: Will you adopt me?
