Thanks. You being an owner of a new black car, I am sure you will soon know how tough it is to keep it that way. ie. unless you have someone wash/clean it for you.

I had a problem only with the top speed. Had no serious issues with pick-up or acceleration otherwise. Yes, let me see if the 3.5K spent on the K&N was useful or went down the drain.

You were actually doing pretty good, always on my tail.
Actually, on the drive, I had a manual speed-governor sitting beside me (my wife),

who kept howling every time she felt I was doing too high a speed. Anyway, she was a sport to come along. If not, I would have not been able to enjoy the meet/drive, as I would have felt guilty of leaving her all alone at home on a weekend.

Nothing rude about asking a guy's age, I guess. I am 36 yrs young. Started driving at 15 on Dad's M800-Type1.
