Some cool stuff, some not so cool. Still, nice to see what others are doing to their cars.

Let's see

Sard GT wing
Magnusun Supercharger and Intercooler
OS Giken LSD with 3.15 gears
ZO6 brake scoops
Upgraded alternator
Data Logger
Baer upgraded brake system which cost more than a set of most of you all's wheels AND tires
Borla exhaust and cutouts
Pfadt Suspension enhancements
Coilovers
Lot's of custom cooling to extend life and add performance to the parts he bought
Recaro Seats
Rollcage
Volk TE37s one of the lightest wheels made

... yeah that car is definitely rice. Obviously he has a great investment in race parts, a good handle on engineering and dedicated track time which is alot more than I can say for a lot of people knocking the car. Amazing how the hood makes everyone's opinions on a well built performance race car go to hell. Good job guys

That vette is like my ex-girlfreind, not very cute and lots of junk in the trunk, but she gets the job done
