Cops have stepped up patrol around here too. Some of us were hanging out in a parking lot and they showed up and everyone just left. We went to the neighboring shopping center to go get something to eat (we parked far from the restaurant to avoid door dings) and as we walked towards the restaurant to go inside another cop shows up and says over the intercom "I see you!!!"

I even got a bs ticket from a ***** cop when I know I wasnt speeding and made sure he didnt have an angle to clock me. Needless to say, he refused to show me the readout and was a complete *** about it.

Thanks, BTW yellow break calipers look awesome on the TT, is it custom painted or does it come stock??

Hey, your are right about cops that day. I passed about 4 cops on my way to Captree and about 3 cops on the way back. All of them were hiding with laser guns (my radar went off several times).

I was surprised to see so many cops working that day trying to zap people. It is getting crazy, there is almost a cop on every corner now.

Is there an inexpensive and quick way to join police?? (if you can fight them ... join them )

Be careful out there.

ProjectC55

The yellow calipers are stock but only if you check the box for ceramic brakes. The std. brakes come w/ red calipers.

Its like a $10k+ check!

ItalianStallion

What's going on dude? Long time no see, hope all is well.

And yup, yellow calipers are the sign of carbon ceramic on a p-car.

Wazzup Krazy Karl.. Havent seen you in the longest.. I tried calling some of your numbers I had on my cell and none of em worked.. Gimme a call bro, my cell's still the same..

As far as the car situtation.. Yea I stole this 03 S600 from the previous owner.. 4000 miles on it and Clean!! Clean!! Clean!! Pretty much my dream car..

Me and **** actually took a ton of leftover DSM parts from my car, went half and half and built his dad's old SC.. The end result was this last November with a bad tranny.. Not too bad I think for roughly $2000 in mods..

You aint beatin this SC out the hole with your DSM

And my white car is gone to the crusher.. The 95 TSi on the other hand is recieving a full chassis treatment to handle this:




Anyhow if you dont have my number lemme know ill PM it to you.. We gotta get together and catch up.. Jr. told me about your 43/55 swap and how you utterly humiliated Cheeto

ProjectC55

LOL! It seems like all us DSM guys are buying MB's now!
I'd sure love to give the T-bird a go at it at E-town in the Spring. Only one way to find out!!!

However 12.3 @ 105mph does equate to an insane holeshot! After the Holeshot though the T-Bird will be a side of beef!!


Are u gonna goto Captree this Sunday? I believe I still have your cell I'll definitely give u a buzz Den.

nyc_srt8

Of course the C43. That talon is out of my league...for now

ProjectC55

LOL! No I knew you meant the C43. I'll get to you on the handle b4 the week is over. I definitely would like to see where my lil MB's at against the Red BEAST!!

Mathmik

Where was this at in MD??? So I make sure I stay away...LOL

SleeperX

Bro.. Where have you been at? Spring can't get here soon enough.

Kwik SC

If you click on my other videos you will see the dyno of the car the night before we took it to the track.. It made just a slightly bit more power than 105mph was warranted Torque convertor is messed up REAL bad and once we sort it out should take the car into the 11.50@120mph range.. However 1.68 60ft out of that car is not too bad

What time do you guys go to Captree? I dont think ill be able to make it this weekend as wifey is in town and its her birthday/valentines day/ our anniversary kind of deal.. But next weekend im definitely down..

AMGJared

Carl and everyone else let me know when you guys start going again...we can continue the Sunday morning meetings at the exit 13 rest stop on the southern state if you guys are down. By then I'll have my next ride....

ProjectC55

I'll call ya Den. Tell the wifey you can celebrate V-Day another year!

ProjectC55

What the Honda in your sig?
I'll let ya know Jared. However you'll be leaving us in the dust with that BEAST in your sig!!

AMGJared

Its not a honda its a spaceship!...Its a 2000 insight the most fuel efficient car ever made. This beast is a 1 litre 3 cyl engine producing...73hp and 91ft-lbs torque! Haha. I'm sick of it...I can't even roll from second at a stop sign...it doesn't have enough power. Next car will be here shortly.

Kwik SC

No doubt sweety pie!! Ill be waiting for your phone call.. LoL

cte430

Don't remind me LOL! They're a bargain compared to Ferrari's CCB's though - at least that's how I rationalized it to myself !

SleeperX

Yes, but worth every penny if you ask me.. They are much lighter than steel rotors.

ItalianStallion

Eh, idk man. Not to knock Chris for his decision as they're an amazing option, but...if you're not going to track the car then it really ain't worth it. Yes, they are lighter brakes but for much less you can get a set of beautiful HRE's that weigh less than stock and will give you an incredible appearance. Of course, if you're like Chris you can do both

cte430

That's right Grasshopper - I have ceramics + VERY LIGHT Champion wheels so the best of both worlds!! LOL! A significant weight reduction.

Actually, many who track their cars a lot usually opt NOT to get ceramics. Just too expensive to replace. Are they worth it for street driving? If you're worried about the cost, then no. A friend of mine said it best regarding the PCCB's: "A solution to a problem that doesn't exist".

My 997S had std. brakes and they were great. The PCCB's just feel awesome though. Interstingly porsche will not say that they stop any better/faster. The feel is worth it though. Plus, they look cool almost no brake dust is also a benefit.

Seriously, I was on the fence about this option for some time. the Gen I's had some serious issues (knock on wood Gen II's seem to be doing fine) so I thought long and hard about it.

I realized that with my personality I would have been kicking myself after the fact had I not gotten them. Guess I just like the "latest and greatest". I think pretty soon they will be std. on most high end exotics. They are now "std." on the F430 but about double the cost of porsche's - so I got a bargain!

blackbenzz

Doesnt the ZR-1 have them stock now?
