Fun with Photoshop
So I was just messing around with this picture and thought it came out pretty cool. Nothing real extreme, but I was thinking I could use it for a sig pic or something.

picture looks great, i even like the text on the bottom. the text on the garage bothers me a bit. if you got rid of that i think the picture would be worth framing! also try using a drop shaddow or embossing the text... you may like the look of that too (nothing too extreme...very subtle use of the effect)
but...still looks great!

If he doesnt have 418 hp then he should not say he does. His mod list show very little in performance upgrades.

He’s not being specific but at the fly it's quite possible to be at 400hp with those mods.

he didnt claim 400 hp but 418, not 419 or 420. 418
the car as designed comes out of the box at 345 hp at the crank. there is no way in hell he is going to see 73 hp from an exhaust and an air intake.
I wont argue the point any more... he has three or four performance mods mods that total might see 20/25 hp. Which would put him at 355 at the wheels.

This is when the guy pulls out the dyno numbers and owns you outright! God, what I wouldn't give right now for that to happen.

wow thanks for all the complements guy!
to evil-twin,
The guy I bought the car from told me it was dynoed 418 at the fly...I just recently got it so I haven’t had it dynoed my self. I don’t know if he may have done a chip or this is a factory freak or something. The mods listed are the only ones I am aware of. I know it is a hell of a lot faster than stock because I drove and raced my friends stock FRC. 418 is a pretty random number to just bs though, so I will see if I can get a hold of his dyno sheet, or just dyno it myself...
but thanks for your thoughts, I did ask for em
Anyway I may mess with it a little more here...work on lettering and stuff. God I love Photoshop
