MM - my best 0-60 and 1/4 mile are both at the dragstrip: 0-60 in 3.6 and 1/4 mile 11.99 / 121.3 MPH. On the street it's a bit slower because there's no traction in 1st gear.

With the chip, it's making 650-680 HP at the flywheel depending on gas octane.

Generally 17" and 18" are the best rims for overall performance, although some of the new 19" 1-piece lightweight forged rims (like the RENNtechs) do quite well. Anything larger than 19" currently is a compromise of ride and performance for looks -- and I'm all about performance

You need to update your website Treynor. Nothing on there about this S600.

Nice stuff.
