Sasha,

Remember your dad did a run before I got there.. I was at the gate arguing with them over the false advertising.. The website says it costs $50 CDN to run both days and I get there they are saying $60 bucks.. Don't mind the $10 just the false advertising pisses me off.. Oh well..

If it was the 370 HP model XK I would of lost for sure.. The XK8 is a beautiful convertible thou especially in the red that Sasha's dad has it in.. Looking forward to see the VID even if Sasha didn't get my burn outs..

The XK8 vs the SC430 would be a interesting race.. Don't ya think Sasha??

Hey does anyone have any magazine 1/4 mile testing times on the GS4??

Just curious to see how I did in comparison.. Think I took a few months off the life of the 17" tires but it was worth it..

Ok MT says they tested a 98 GS4 and they got a top speed of 98.9 MPH @ 14.3 secs.. I guess I did ok.. Hardest part is keeping the traction at the start but if you hook up properly then no problem.. Just thought I would share.. Anyone have any other magazine times??

Default That's cool guys

I should hook up a Michigan meet up at my Liquor store or somthing.....I provide the food (we sell Pizza, Chicken, Ribs and subs at the store)....and the "refreshments" muhahaa. Or maybe at the big Bash I'm throwing at center stage in the next week. Hmmmmm.....there's only a handful of Michganders here on ClubLex, I wonder how it would turn out...I wonder if some of the Canadian members would come down eh? My pop's lil hotel is right on the Detroit river over looking Windsor..we could hit the strip at Greek Town and then go to Pure up in the VIP cause my cuz is the owner! Okay okay, need to calm down...


Hey, nice race. I like that kind of stuff. I love that jag man....that convertible woooooooooweeeeee. That was my dream car before I figured out what a 360 Modean spyder was, now only if the Aston Martin costed 200k less and came in convertible...do they?

But that Jag..........I DREAMMMM OFFFF RAIN ALALALALALALALLALALALA
