Hey from Newbie in Sin City

Hey guys..

I've owned my 04 e55 for several years. Just decided to kick it up a notch as I kept waiting to get bored with the car like all the others and it never happened!
Looking forward to participating here.

Thanks

The wheels are 20" Zenetti's (2 piece forged) and not available to the public til after SEMA. I was fortunate to have a friend that owns a High end custom shop get a centric correct set for me. Glad you like!

I'm ready to start with a little something. Just had it totally gone through and confirmed, strong s/c clutch, internals etc. Would love some feedback about best baby steps. Without going "all In", what would you suggest as a first? Exhaust? Pulley? Tune etc?

By the way...I bought the car through a broker years ago, not sure if anything was done to it prevous but, I ran a 12.3 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway strip with street tires and poor drag skills (slow 60 footer and RT etc). Raced a brand new CTS V coupe last weekend and stayed with him and Im over 100k miles.

Upgraded cooling is a must (HE/pump). Then I would do headers and tune first. But that's just me.

Welcome. Atleast there is someone else in this town and on the forums. I was beginning to wonder were all the Vegas people where.

Congrats and welcome, I would say enjoy her in good health, but it looks like you have that covered already.
