His results: 500+ rwhp on the dyno.

all that work...man...

i was very surprised he stuck with stock tires. 225-45-17 front and 245-40-17 rear on the was but not so sticky now potenza expedia s-01. with 500lb ft of torque...one would've thought more rubber is needed for putting it all down....no wonder he was slipping up to third gear..

times would've been awesome if he had proper tires...think viper torque..or the mb amg supercharged v8 torque...mo' rubber please :p

Does that $45K include the car? I'm guessing not. I bet that's a fun ride

who cares about the goddamn paint _some_ cars are made to be driven... they get dirty
and while I'm on it I'd just like to say... chromed wheels really are a crime!
