Cool vid! I'll definitely be there! AutoMotorPlex has really grown into an automotive playground. Such a great facility for C&C!

Thanks for all your hard work putting all of this together, Luis.

BTW, let me know if there is some dyno tuning going on on Friday when Todd is in town so I can work it into my schedule.

 

There will definately be a special car getting tuned on Friday. I'll give you a call and give you more details.

 

Should be a good showing Saturday. Hope you guys can make it!

Pics!!!!



















1 of 2 Ferrari 250 GT SWB coupes that showed up. This one was built in 1962, iirc.


The other Ferrari 250 GT SWB coupe. This was built in 1959.














Probably my favorite shot of the morning.

 

My ride for the day arrived...



Yours truly



AutoMotorPlex in all its glory with close to 500 cars in attendance for Cars & Cafe:













And back on the ground...



















More to come from the APS Dyno Day...

 

The M3s after having a few chances on the dyno













AtomicZ's badass track prepped C6 Z06






The only good shot I got of my dad's Camaro Z28 during its maiden dyno run. It made 320 rwhp and 335 lb-ft exactly on both pulls with just a catback exhaust and K&N filter, not even tuned. I was pretty happy that it beat all of the naturally aspirated M3s!



A quick M3cs photoshoot












A quick Bentley Continental CGT Speed photoshoot as well










As usual, more pics can be seen in my gallery HERE.

 

You are the man Alex! Glad you enjoyed the copter ride.

 

Thanks Luis! I had a blast up there!

I don't think you were at APS when I ran the Camaro on the dyno but it put down 320 whp and 335 lb-ft of torque with just a K&N filter and a catback exhaust without even being tuned. Not bad, right?

 

Very strong! Todd Z and I went over to Imola, tuned a GTi and a 996TT. I had a looooong day yeasterday.
