good thing its awd, for that white stuff, it really brings out the contrast of that black paint. Perfect color combo....if I'd buy a porsche....I'd take that exact car

Very nice, but don't break it, F-22 parts cost less.

Not to worry... I spent this year's track/tire/brake budget on the most extensive warranty that I've ever seen. It's covered for ALL PARTS and ALL LABOR, minus $100 deductable for 4 years of 48K miles. It was the deal maker/breaker on the purchase. If I couldn't get a warranty to cover it with all the mods done to it, I wasn't buying it...

According to the Dyno Sheets included w/ the receipts, It is making 510WHEEL HP and 532#ft. of torque. This is done via GT1 turbos and GT2 intercooler and a Billet Diverter Valve, along with some custom tuning. It also has H&R Springs/Swaybars and bilstein adjustable shocks, along with some custom Pilot Exhaust/sport cats and a few other bells and whistles... It has about $22K worth of work done to it... True joy to drive...

Congratulations!!

If your ever get a chance, it would be really nice to hear your opinions on how this car handles on the track vs some others you may have driven.
