Yoo Hoooooo. Anybody home?

You can tell it's summer. Everyone is enjoying the outdoors and no one is sitting in a darkened room flying a computer.

We are still here, at least our GFI guys are. I sit in a darkened room at my cockpit or in my model railroad room. It is a little warm to be outside in the sunshine.

Rest assured that all is still A- OK.

PS. I want the 727 in the picture. If I can get it in my lunchbox and bring it home. I have one part already. A microphone from a 727, at least that's a start

Hey boss, did you buy that to put in your back yard? Would be an excellent start for your home cockpit. You could put even Wayne's cockpit to shame :mrgreen:.

You DID tell me to behave Boss.

Yeah we are still here. Well most of us anyways. I'm still on overtime, so don't spend as much time on here as I would like to. Hopefully that will be coming to an end here very soon.

Well, I've been out in the great outdoors... Been ticking off some bid flights when I can to keep current. Just been having fun with the Mustang and keeping her in top shape for summertime car shows. :)

From the looks of it, I'd say driving that Mustang technically qualifies as flying. LOL

I bet it sounds AWESOME! Mustangs have a wonderful set of pipes.

It does sound nasty Ted :D .. I have Corsa Sport quad tipped mufflers on it, black chrome (you can see the drivers side in the top picture). Painting the calipers same color green as the stripes today and installing a new H-Pipe, removing the cats. Should sound even better with the cats gone. :wink:

You certainly do take off in it Bert... I've got it up to about 475 HP now with a Ford Racing Cobra Jet intake manifold and big monoblade throttle body sitting on a Ford Racing Cold Air Intake.

Chris sweet car!!!

I love the Challengers, but I've always been a Mustang guy... ;) ... Love the color, and name. Mines Midnight Envy...

Hehehe, the only Camaro that would have a chance with me now (with my current mods) would be the supercharged ZL1. I don't understand what Chevy is doing with the Z28. It's a huge, naturally aspirated motor (7.0) but only makes about 25HP over what I am right now; although the suspension is sweet; built for racing out of the showroom. ...I take SS's for a walk every time... :D

If I had to get another (non-Mustang) car; I'd get a Challenger Scat Pack (That damn Hellcat is too much money, LOL, but one can dream - 707HP! :shock: )

Too bad you're far away... We could hit a few cruise-in's together. :wink:

Yup, the sound is awesome and music to my ears. But after having a 320HP TansAm with that "nasty" rumble that alerted every cop within 10 blocks every time I punched it, I'm thinking I'm going for quiet power for my next car. I'm going to miss that sound but I wouldn't miss those tickets and dodging the cops. :shock:

"...While the Rocket come standard with the GT’s 430-hp Coyote V-8, six-speed manual, and 3.73:1 rear differential, the real boost comes from a $15,900 supercharged performance package, which adds a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger to crank output to a monstrous 725 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 572 lb.-ft. of torque at 5250 rpm. Thus equipped, the Rocket delivers brutally quick acceleration, ...."

Ted... I love the new Mustangs in Silver! I've seen "The Rocket" before - and have drooled. LOL...

One day, once my car 'cards' are paid down, I may get a Roush Supercharger and boost my car to 627 :) But at 5K+ for the setup; that'll wait for a while... :P
