Our minds are in the same channel. I like the stock look as well...and was where I was going to go with my Courier...other than the wheels and probably paint color. I am going to also go with the slightly lower look...other than that...will look like it came off the assembly line.

SIGH...I am jealous! Looks really nice. Great color contrast on the pics too between the hills and the car. Makes the ol' gal really pop in those pics!

[djfordmanjack]

Beautiful car.

Outstanding, both the car and the pictures. I always dreamed of driving Pikes Peak but after they paved the best part I sort of lost interest..

  Beautiful car and very nice photography.

Sure, Les, make me homesick!! Our old house was about 3 miles south of there in the foothills/upper Skyway. Those last two pics taken from the overlook on Mesa Drive just above 31st St.? That's gotta be one of the prettiest sceneries in all of the U.S.!!
The car looks absolutely outstanding, and I'll bet with that Ford Motorsports crate engine it's nothing like it was!
Now, go get me some pics from the Cripple Creek overlook with the Continental Divide in the background! Hurry, before the snow melts, and watch out for elk.

Rich, I knew you'd know where I took the pictures! Mesa overlook is exactly where. In fact all pictures were taken from the same place. The second one is taken facing N.W., towards where 31 St. goes by Glen Eyrie. Hmm, Cripple Creek.

Love the stance and the wheels, beautiful car.

Pikes Peak is tough to do even for people who breath normally. No more 14ers for me. For those that don't know, Cripple Creek is about 180* on the other side of Pikes Peak from where Les was taking pictures overlooking Garden of the Gods. About a 42 mile drive from there. Garden of the Gods is a don't miss for those passing thru Colorado Springs. Oddly enough, it's not a National Monument, not even a state park.......it's just a city park and they want to keep it that way!
Les, I thought maybe the first two pics were from a lower elevation..........just camera angle playing tricks.

You need to do it!  The thrill of hitting the turns at speed and accelerating out of them is quite a rush!  Did it in 2013 and would do it again in a minute.  My oldest kid works in the Protocol Office at the Academy so during the next visit out there I will run it again.  I do have to confess I did not follow the speed limit, hit it early in the morning during the week and there is no traffic going up to impede the fun!
