Very cool! Post the pics of it when you got them!

What color? Wheels? any Mods already done? what gear ratio? Upgraded brakes? Tinted windows?

Well don't keep us in suspense talk about it man! Talk about it!

Thanks,Matt

Silver M6, no mods (yet), I'm doing a tint first, followed by a window valet, while saving for motor mods...

I'm really looking for next summer's Friday at the track events at Summit Point. I can hear the track from my house and it has been taunting me!
