I'm in for either the Jeep or AJM's Galant, since Mofo kicked me off his team.

The vettes sit about midway on that list of cars in terms of curb weight. Nothing to boast about.
(depending ofcourse on where you source your specs from - I'm positive you'll try to find numbers proving otherwise)

Finally getting to go on a real one of these. Even if its in a "slow" 335i.

Hey, what are you all doing for mobile internet? I was thinking about picking up a MiFi from VZW for the trip and returning it at the end. Seems to be a good way to get a few computers some form of access.

Alan, last year just about every car was connected to the interweb via broadband. About 8 cars ran a live video feed from the cockpit.
I'm hoping everyone comes armed with their broadband, laptops and at least one webcam. You should check out the sticky in this forum - Things to bring.

Awh I wish I had my laptop set up for this. I might be able to take a work phone and link it up to my laptop for a live feed.

Oh BTW my Fat C5 weighs in at 3075 lbs.

Should I pull the N20 tank out for the race? maybe I'll just hide it.

I don't think I can get her into the 2xxx range without gutting it, which I'm not going to do. So the next logical thing would just be to add more power!

After I buy my house I'll start building a nice LSx for her.

Should we have a revised list of things to bring for this shorter trip?

Any special clothes?

I should have a CB, hand held walkies, and radar detectors. Maybe a GPS I'm trying to decided on if I want to chance it without one.

That's OK; the non turbo 996s make as much power as a stock Subaru STI or a Nissan 350Z
FWIW I wouldn't put an LSx in a C5; you'll take a massive hit if you ever sell the car. You can get more power for less money with a blower, and then take the blower off if/when you want to sell it
