Sounds like fun. Although, I'm not sure I want to know the truth about my car's HP. I've convinced myself it must be waaay over 100. :roll:

Ace, are you going out of town to see your new grandchild? If that's the case, you have your priorities pretty screwed up buddy.
Miss a Fiat event for a visit with your first grandchild? How lame is that? :lol:

You got it buddy! And this is the daughter that declined my offer of the Spider at their wedding as the getaway car. No love of Fiats there. Her husband is a NASCAR guy. Denise knows the feeling, though she does get big support from Ron, even though he won't ride in the Fiat!
Luck would have it that our daughter lives less than an hour from Denise, so we may do some Fiat stuff over there when we get back to NC. I was hoping to hit the Hillbilly Rally, but the timing didn't work out quite right for that.

Have fun at the Dyno test! You're lucky I'm not there to show you up, even with my old '70 spider with a blown head gasket! Still goes over 100mph into a stiff 30mph headwind! It will be interesting to see what the numbers are for the cars that get tested.

I've done some quick calculations, and my car should be running around 68hp to the rear wheel. I guess we will find out soon enough!

If that sounds low, bear in mind that our cars engines were rated at the flywheel, not at the rear wheel.

:D

You're as bad a Alvon, Mark!
Although I'd sure like to see you in a tuxedo.
Congratulations to you, you're son and daughter-in-law to be.
