Congrats! Once you get used to V8 torque, its would be nearly impossible to go back into an anemic import 4-cyl.

Welcome aboard!

Very nice choice. A red WS6 is one sharp looking car. Can't wait to see your pics. Grats again on the new ride.

Thanks guys. Can't wait to go to meets and check out your rides as well. What's going on this Friday? Don't think I can make it... made other plans. But I'll be there for the next one for sure.

Just ordered 4 new AR TT2 (polished) with 275/40/ZR17 Toyo Proxes T1S Can't wait to put them on!!

Congrats and welcome. I would like to make a suggestion. Get rid of that flowmaster exhaust. Those things choke the motor.

Ahh you chose wisely my son.
There is alot of potential under the hood.
With free mods and a decent tire you
have a high 12 second street machine.
After that then there are the bolt ons.
Congrats.
