what an awesome event this turned out to be. Great cars, wonderful people and a heck of a time. Didn't even sunburn my melon this time.
I got some great video and will be releasing the edited version next week.

I see two air intakes that I have not read about yet in those pics... the first is a Volant? It looks like it's on a 3.5l... do you guys know anything about that?

The other is the setup on the 300C. Looks like a see-through plexiglass setup or something. Did you get a chance to talk to those owners about their intakes?

Just wondering because they both looked decent, wonder if they perform well.

There werent any 3.5Ls there. The plaxiglass set up was mad custom. It covers a volant intake. It's just for show, He removes it when driving so the plexiglass wont get hot. Etched it himself too and added the LEDs to enhance everything. Nicest engine cover I have seen. He's gonna make me one in purple.

Oh okay... I just assumed it was a 3.5 since there wasn't a cover over the engine in one of the pics with the Volant intake...

So is this Volant a decent thing? Is it better or worse than the Air-raid for performance? Is there something better perhaps that I am missing?

By the way, Grinner, great video man!! Makes me wish I had my RT already and was back in the States to join you all. Next year for sure since I am from Michigan and we qualify for Midwest.
