F77 was a beast. Great color too.

Don't know of that car's whereabouts but the local P-dealer/Tysons is still pitching the full Champion line. They've got me interested in an Tubi/GIAC combo for $3-4K--claim is a 25-30 bump (sorry) in hp. Any thoughts?

The F77 package, with an airbox($3500 !!), no catalytic convertors !), loud mufflers and ECU reflash, has never been documented to produce any signifant power gains. As Wendy's says, "Wheres the beef?". Unattractive dark colored wheels.

Didn't really like the design of the wheels, but the car as a whole does look awesome!

Talk about a coincidence...I saw it yesterday in a parking lot in Boca Raton. I sawthe owner walk up, and we chatted for a few. The car looks sweet in person...very nice color. however, with all of the mods, the engine did not sound that great...in all unbiased honesty, my gundohack exhaust sounds way better. however, the orange calipers were sweet, and offset the car color and wheels nicely. I'd drive it in a heartbeat

Last time I saw the car they had taken off the 20" wheels because it was hurting performance at a track they had it at for a magazine article. The car had 18" on it when I saw it but the Champion guy told me they were putting 19" on it for show.
