Awesome job. When you go going back down? I couldn't make the March date with my Caddy in the Amelia Island Concours, but would be psyched to caravan down with you some time.

Maybe I missed it but can you give some specs on your car and the track and weather conditions?

Torrie, it look like if you went any faster the down force on the front end would have your splitter scraping the pavement! :cheers

Because we have the same "fastest color" I plan on stealing the photos and speed runs and telling everyone it is me...imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

Kidding aside I think being able to take a well driven GT and given the drivability of your GT I would crown you the "Torrie Terror" (TT for short).
