Good old Texas desert heat! I remember last september I was working Turn #1 and Turn #2 at a DE...

...Felt like 150* out there.

Yup the goal is fastest 3.6, I am searching for the parts to be legit in the mile. i will need a 6 point autopower cage and some harnesses. I guess its time to delete that rear seat anyway. Not like I will ever use it.

And... I am now in search for another set of wheels. Maybe Chrome 996TT wheels. That or silver may make my car look quite a bit more tame and sleeper to the unsuspection gold chain wearing corvette driver.

Thanks for the advice guys. But if I do get a second set I must say it will be packing some hoosiers or sticky mickey's. AKA Launch Control LOL

Let's see the M3

Very nice! DCT or manual? How does that time compare to your turbo?

2:47??? you mean 1:47 right? If so then nice times for radials and a 4-dr.


back on topic...I just bought Yok AD-08 but have yet to turn a mile in them as my car is still not back together.
