DutchGT500 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 :banana piano: :banana piano: Just heard the news that 1ZVHT88S675267880 will be coming within 10 days at the dealership. From there she will go to Europe. I wanted to share this with you. I am in doubt whether to have the dealership do a 3.73 or 4.10 install before she goes. I maybe have plans to do the Superpack (whipple upgrade, 700hp) and 4.10 will probably be too much. My 97 Cobra has 4.10s but that is with 400hp less. What do you guys think? Wait and enjoy the car and have it done when plans come together? Now with the 3.31s and speed limiter to be removed I can go to Germany and maybe hit 180 if the hood won't fly off.

svtbird91 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Thats great news Patrick . It's been a long wait but you are finally getting close. If I were you I would have the gears done after you get the car. #1 you get to see how the car performs in stock trim. #2 you will have some recourse if there is a problem #3 If you are going end up with 700hp, the 373s are the way to go. Esp in Europe .IMO I hope everything works out for you. God bless! George.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdwaterHotrod Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Call the news crew in when it gets unloaded so it & you can be on TV as one of the 1st to get it over their. You may also want to buy a full faced helmet, HANS device & add hood pins if go above 155mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch that hood Patrick - Mine was waffling pretty good at 205KM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is killing me! `r pretzel` When I got my car Saturday I thought of you for some reason , I can`t understand how a car can be on material hold so long. What does your dealer say? I waited 1year 2weeks & believe me it is worth it. Thank God For The People on this forum including you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny dealer...very low priority. Even Ralph said my situation is not unusual. But it sure is frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is killing me! 7AM at work. Thanks for your compassion. Yep, I ordered one at March 13 and had to let go of the first one as the first dealership wanted 15K ADM just 2 weeks before delivery in August while I had a MSRP agreement. I said f@##%* I will go somewhere else. Now it seems to come together finally. I believe it when I see the car in Amsterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Prezel I have a Q2 07 delivery date. However I may be back in Veenendaal before that. If that happens I am definately sending you an email to see if we can catch up so I can see your new beauty.

sbornitz Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Ben jij Nederlands dan? Mostly German but the company I work for owns two companies in Veenendaal. And currently the do not have any Engineers over there so a couple of us here in the States get to do a rotation. Generally we do 2 or 3 weeks over there at a time and someone goes every other month.

Do visit me if you are here. The car will hopefully be here before years end. In January I will go to the inspection for license plates. But no driving when there is snow or salt.

As nice as it was I am hoping I do not have to go again. I lost 2 weeks of working on my house. So now it is basically winter and I still have unfinished outside projects that will stay unfinished until spring . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
