[s-cars] Worthy projects (was Alum..was UrS $)

I like a lot of cars for what they are.  That said, I have spoken to  Scotty 
Davis on the amount of dollars he put in his 20vt urq, and  I'd venture that 
your total without the latest project, would probably put  a multiplier on M. 
Davis and an exponential one on M Dawson?  
 
I built one of these monster S cars for a guy, and when he was done with  the 
first couple stages, he got passed at Grattan.  I then explained the  next 
steps and the cost, within a week he sold the S car for a decent return,  bought 
a 930T and leased an S8.   Now 4 years later, he's got his  eye on the new 
S6, and put some more tweeks into his turbo....  Great roi,  and the best of 
both worlds of speed.
 
After taking a hot lap in his bone stock S8 (when the P car was in for  
service), I'd also propose that a well gussied up Miss Piggy has a  hard time 
putting distance on the s8.
 
I know what it takes to do the investment on an S car.  From a  builder, to a 
supplier.  I love watching the progression of the passion to  rational 
thought too.

That is your perspective and you are free to choose in  this great country of 
ours. I like a car that can accelerate like crazy with  all the underhood 
steroids I can possibly get her to swallow, with the  exception of spark plugs 
that is, still handle herself well in the twisties,  and brake like there's no 
tomorrow. The weight of MP, although a challenge,  can be handled adequately, 
pun intended. Speaking of Pobst, he and Michael  Galati both drove my car at 
Sears Point and loved it for what it was. Randy  was, in fact, the person who 
came up with the Bistein revalving numbers that I  and others have used with 
great success. The car at that time was running the  T04E Garrett w/RS2 mani, 
FMIC, Big Reds at the 4 corners, Bilsteins and  Eibachs with coil-overs in the 
rear, and of course the HRSB along with a few  other things. Anyway, that's my 
.02 cents arbitraged for the  millennium.
