OT: My GT-R now has BBS LM's- pics by Auktane!!
Its not a Benz but we allow our members to post pics of their other rides and since some of you have been asking; here are my pics of the GT-R that I just recently secured.
Mods:
Swift 1 inch springs (Thanks SP Engineering)
BBS LM's (Thanks ED and HMS/Orange County)
All Orange removed (Thanks to Ed and HMS again)
Painted Calipers (Stuttgart Performance)
Pics by Auktane- not even his job just a hobby and makes all of the cars he shoots look better!
HKS GT570 package is awaiting my 1000 mile service and then it will be a real screamer. As for now, I have the Cobb Accessport which gives it a 30-40 hp gain and the car is amazing from a dig. I can see why guys like Brooks (Fikse) run 11.01's with just this tune in custom format at 125+ traps. While it doesnt seem to advance as much at higher speeds (130+) like the 997TT (modded) and my M6 (medium modded) it still is an amazing piece of machinery for price. The DCT shifts faster than the M6 IMHO and handling is crazy. In turns where I needed to make human adjustments with my 997TT- this car seems to be doing it on its own. Im sure the placebo effect will wear out but I dont think anytime soon!!

It looks great in white. I thought the OEM rims has ridges on the inside to keep the tires more firmly in place. Do those BBS wheels have anything similar?

Wow, I cannot get over the fact that I hate you just a little more every day.
Okay, it looks incredible, unbelievable and fantastic......................................... ....... but I still hate you.

The great thing is once I do the engine mods (for relatively cheap) this car will be my fave for sure.
