[DML] Re: VIN 961 up for sale

["Matt Metzinger" <dmcvin961@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

Thanks for the compliments. However, the Camaro muffler system was 
installed on a gentlemen's car from Washington state. I believe his 
first name was Lee. He had also mated up a different transmission to 
the car if I recall. It pulled my 5 speed stock by 1.5 to 2 seconds 
on the 1/4 mile. His VIN ran in the 10xx and we were suprised that 
our cars had many similar traits. Sadly I kept in touch for a year or 
two and his DMC was wrecked due to a careless SUV driver and totalled 
out. I haven't heard from him since.

Would you contact me off list in order for me to get a copy of your 
video?

Thanks,

Matt Metzinger
