Matthew's evaluation of Nate's supercharged small block Mk3.

Matthew Paquette, age 14, convinced his mom to come and visit Factory Five. After a tour with President Dave Smith, he was given a test drive by planet manager Nate Johnson in a 450 HP supercharged Mk3. We were all impressed with Matthew's technical and car knowledge...as Nate dropped the hammer on his Roadster, Matthew commented, "Car has a lot of torque." Right on, Matthew!

Besides being a real car guy, Matthew is one tough kid. He has Cystic Fibrosis and doesn't let the illness stop him for one second.

Way to keep up the fight Matthew!! Dont have to be in the Military to be one tough SOB. I think we are looking at a furture FFR owner here. And to Dave Smith, you are great guy making a dream of Matthews come true. God bless you Big Dave (aka "Eastcoast Kahuna")
