And some other small things such as ECU mods and stuff. Nothing real big IIRC.

All the 55's sound pretty weird because the exhaust tips are uneven.

Haha! The LS400 got sold a while back, late December last year
We got a LS430 to replace it. Black on black I quit Tennis and swimming is hard as usual.

I've gotten laps down to a few seconds, going a lot faster than before, but it's only a few more months I can practice before I have to call it quits. Winter time sucks

What color on the R171?

Not real laps, just in the backyard pool.

I'm 17, I'm not really even sure what kinda stroke I have, and it's say, hm, about 20 or something feet? Perhaps more, I'm guessing more, but I won't count it because I jump off from the ledge, so it's kinda cheating

Times? I never timed myself, it's just like a butt dyno kinda thing.

Kompressor, lower compression (diff. pistons, rods), exhaust, ECU.

4 wheels
Different transmissions as well. The Kompressor cars have 5spd transmissions that are tuned by AMG to handle the massive amounts of torque, hp, and have different gear ratios.
