Big congrats Vic, looks stunning. 0-60 in 3.5 bone stock is just plain wrong. Also, P-cars dont tend to be anywhere near as affected by AWD drivetrain loss on the hwy as Audis.

Looks Amazing!!!! I really like the new exhaust tips better then the stock. Have you played with her yet? I hear the car has a bit of turbo lag? How does it compare to the 65 during acceleration? The color is awesome!! Too bad no keyless go. I'm lazy and got use to not using a key

As for turbo lag, its not that bad actually- the new variable geometry turbos have some good progress there and once I put some miles on and chip it, I am sure it will only get better.
As for comparos, the 65 was modded and in a straight line the 65 is faster via seat of the pants but stop light to stop light this tip is superb.
Of course handling is a no brainer and once I add on the chip, GMG cars are running circa 590 hp at the crank with the mods that I will have. It should make for a very quick but not over the top 997TT.
