I figured I'd better get my vote in on the first day this time.

I'll be pressurizing my Solstice next year this time.

I finally decided to get the DDM S/C. Dave answered all of my questions and Ivy took my order.

I sure like the new numbers with the intercooler.

So what do you mean handful? Is this a good thing? Does this mean you won't be getting the intercooler?

Hand full - as in hard to tame.

No traction control, no stability control, and gobs of horse power.

On a properlly prepared track, you should be fine.

On the street, a heavy right foot mashed into the carpet will most likely have you impersanating the red bull solstice.

Good thing or bad thing? Depends on how well you can drive looking out the side window
