Thanks, it really turned heads on the street, and she really ran her heart out on the track for me. I'm going to miss her.

The sound was sure a standout coming down the front straight, got everyone's attention. Wish I had had our Electric Exhaust cutouts then. Would have liked more roar with my whine.
