Thanks.... Yea it is gorgeous I like the wheels and was thinking about doing a black red brushed or chrome.
But its each to there own ya know.

The tail lights flash because of the leds and the frame rate / shutter speed of the camera. I person they dont do that.

Very glad YOU like the wheels

I am supportive of you modding and racing this car...honestly it is pretty ballsy to take a car that cost nearly $200k down the 1320!
Nice work.

However, those times are in dire need of work.
You spent some serious coin on the top of the market mods.....lets get the driver mod squared away ASAP.
Capital is fun, but NOTHING beats our private rentals at MIR.

So keep your eye peeled for the next one (prob April), make some friends and get that sled deep into the 11's.
The local community has some of the most hard core and successful racers in the country....and the best thing is the are always willing to help.

Good luck and I hope we have a chance to meet someday.

I agree. That thing should be a whole lot faster. My wife only has K&N stock filters, ecu tune, and tcu tune. She ran 7.29 in the 1/8 so thats a mid to low 11 sec 1/4 mile.
