It's true, the check just came in today. The RedKnight and all of my parts are packed up and ready to be transported to Gabe. Congrats Gabe and enjoy, she's a BLAST!

For those that ask why, I've been being pulled for a while. I really miss RWD! Since the new Mustang came out it's been calling me. My first car when I was a kid (many years ago) was a 67 Mustang GT Fastback (not Shelby - regular GT). I'm looking forward to fixing that car up and having a little fun with it. The Solara is a great car! I'm sure going to miss it! The lack of after-market support was just frustrating me so bad I had to give up. I was not near the target I hoped to get to and felt I had hit a wall.

The car is in great hands and as I mentioned before is easily capable of mid 12s. I can't think of many people more qualified to get it there than Gabe. Letting go of the car was a very difficult decision that was not done hastily. No "morning after" thoughts, it took a while to make the decision. The car was never publicly available. I don't think I could let it go to just anybody. I've put countless hours and care into it. There's a little pride there retiring the car as the fastest street Solara on record. It certainly won't be long until that record has been beaten though.

The next project is all about enjoyment for me, no competition. I'm going to love (and already am) going from 1 end of the spectrum where aftermarket support is almost unheard of to one of the MOST supported platforms. Just since the 2005 Mustang was released, there are like 7 options for forced induction! So many decisions, so much money to spend. I'm not saying I won't race it, there will be some exhibition runs at the track. I'm hoping to push it into the 11s short term with 10s as a long term goal.

As for hanging out here, I'll be very honest. I work many hours and travel a lot. With a new car and so much to learn and research to do, I will probably focus on the Mustang forums. It's nothing personal, you guys are great. It's just the truth. It's like when you brake up with a girl (or guy - girls) and you say, "we can still be friends". You never see each other again... Best regards to all of you. -JoeB

Hey I can understand where your coming from. I used to be on all the camaro forums when I had my camaro. People told me to still keep posting too after I sold it. I havent really been back cause now I spend all my time learning as much about solaras. Plus I kindof feel out of the loop too. Good luck with your mustang! And it will be easy to get that to run 11's. Im just waiting for another camaro to come out with a LS2 and when that happens im going to go back. But good to see you gave the red knight to another solaraguy!

Congrats to TRD4Life and to JoeB's purchase of a new ryde (hope you'll drop in every once in awhile).

Good Luck to the both of you and with future mods everybody will be watching out for.

[NeFaRiOuS_SLE]

Congrats... It's nice to know that SG-owned cars could stay in the community. I'd want someone to keep my car in the SG, but that is if I DO sell it (I love my car too much; it's a keeper in my book).

Im cool with this IF you keep running with us at MIR.

Well JB- I owe the majority of my knowledge and experience to you and the rest to Gabe and Tony. I am sure you also spent countless hours helping folks online in both open forum and PMs. Your professionalism, care and enthusiasm are second to none!! I think I speak for a lot of folks and before you officially engulf yourself in the Mustang community..........

HERE IS TO YOU! THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SEARCH FOR THE 10 SECOND CAR!!!

JoeB, I'm sad for all of us but elated for you. I too have been thinking RWD for over a year now. In fact it's so strange that I have been telling my friends that the new Mustang sure looks sweet. Good Luck to you and I hope you don't mind an occasional email every now and then with a question about something you tried.

Cheers to JoeB, The Red Knight, and all his future projects.

You best post one of those shaky video clips when the Shhhh-tang runs 12's.

Thanks Joe,

I have to agree with G. Joe, I just want to personally say thank you for all your help and knowledge you shared with me. I'm glad to see The Red Knight is going to a great member as well. Hope everthing works out for you in your quest and drop us a line (when your not too busy ).
