You are 100% correct sir. It paid big dividends on the dyno, no ice and spray we saw 167* with the 195mm. We then packed ice and started spraying just before wot, and temps peaked at 126*.

Taken from my thread in the SL forum....
You know, sometimes in life, you think you're all set. You've got what you need, and you don't feel obligated to dote upon yourself any longer. I've got enough pairs of shoes, right? Why must I have that those Salvatore Ferragomo's sitting in the window? Do I really need that Patek Philippe? It's just a watch, correct? It's not gonna keep me from being late to my appointment at The Grooming Lounge, is it? How much is that shave and manicure going to cost me anyway?
For me, this is not that time. I YEARN for that new pair of shoes, I MUST have that Patek sitting atop my wrist, and we all should be getting that manicure. Lavish those you care about first, but don't forget to satisfy yourself.
That SL you see pictured below is my passion, my love affair, and the thing that I wish to dote upon, at this time.
You see, my SL600 always commands my full attention. Like a concerned parent, I've always got one eye on her, making sure that a passer-by isn't getting too close. I keep a roof over her head, I make sure she has food, bathe her regularly, and when the time is needed, she goes in for her regular check-ups.
But it's the shoes.......those shoes, that's my achilles heel. My child must have the best shoes. Right now, the best shoes on the market are made by Vossen. These 20" VVS CV3s are the perfect fit. Her stride looks glorious in them, and I don't remember ever seeing a pair of shoes look so good, doing absolutely nothing. She adores her new shoes, loves to show them off. Now, the passers-by come even closer. If nothing else, just to get a better glimpse of those new shoes.
My baby has found her ruby red slippers. And no matter how hard that witch tugs at them, they're never coming off.
And with that gentlemen, let me present: My baby's ruby reds.
Enjoy.

She's of the belief that scantily clad young hotties just dive into my car at stop lights, when the roof is open.
While that hasn't EXACTLY happened, there's been a few very similar events.

I am not saying the MB is the end all be all of cars, but a well outfitted AMG/V12 with a pair of Vossens go a long way. Case and point two weekends ago when we had some members come in from out of town, I had my beast out and about.
Well, the wifey was in the passenger seat, and we were just cruising along when a cougar pulls up next to us in a Jag Vert, and mouths the words OMG, WOW while looking at the beast. My wife then looks at me and says,"Oh so that is the type of attention this car solicits."

Your wife is emasculating M3 drivers, and my wife says "Oh, those new Vossen tire thingies are cute."

- let's not forget some pearls about my wife: "what's the big deal about grey and black weave plastic?"and of course, the fact that her Louboutins and Guccis had to be directly threatened with curb rash in order for her to understand that under no circumstances was she ever to that close to a curb again while parking. . .

Ahh, this thread is coming along nicely. You guys have very understanding wifs, any sort of racing with my baby in the car could result in teeth missing or a shiner, loll.

Wow, was just thinking about getting some Forgestar F14s, but looking at these pics has me going Vossen.
Great looking cars, do you think these would look as good with the graphite grey instead of black?

Craig - my wife will literally LOOK for people to step to her in lesser cars - put a smack down and then roll down the tinted windows so they can see they just got beat by a girl - once she found out the 55 is faster than an M3 (IN A STRAIGHT LINE) - she particularly enjoys going after those

All of these rides look awesome IMO, I don't see many modded cars around in Atl until I get up on the north end of town mostly.
