04 Comp Orange Cobra Vert w/ True Forged RS Tens-10K miles
I just got my new Forged rims back and wanted to ***** them out a little. Let me know what you fella's think. They do make rims for the E55 crowd if interested

That comp orange does not seem to be street friendly.

Since I have got the cobra back from the pulley and tune I have not pushed it. My cobra weighs around 3800lbs and makes 455rwhp/484rwtq through a 6 spd. My e55 makes 420rwhp/480rwtq through the stock 18's. Since then I have added the 20" DPE's. Just from the SITP, the cobra definitely feels more violent down low and it is running Nitto 315 drags, so I would give the edge to the cobra.

Both of your car look great Chawkins, just curious, you got any close up shot of the E55 with the new DPE's on it, those wheels look amazing!

Sorry, but I'm just not feeling them. Too much black.

I am jealous of the Cobra, though. I'd love a white or grey coupe.
