Very nice. Did you build it yourself? What size rear tires?

Thanks! digitalsolo on here and myself built it in my garage. There's a small build thread in the FI section on here and a BIG build thread on norotors. The tires are Nitto 555r 285/35-18

Very tastefully done man. Awesome job! x2 on any interior pics, those seats look like sex. Also what color is the car? Some pics look steel gray some green? love the paint either way. Last, the twin turbo 370" setup, I'm freaking jealous! How do you like the A2W intercoolers for street use?

Nice car, tell your buddy to find the ISO setting in his camera for night shots.

Cool & again, great job! I'll just never be convinced that it's usable HP. Regardless, it is BadA$$!

You're close enough to maybe cruise on over to Ohio & meet w/ us next season. Let me know if you're interested.

Really don't have any pics of the interior I'll have to go snap a few myself. It's just the factory red interior with an indash touch screen cd/dvd player

Just finished the car 3 weeks ago so I've only had a chance to make 2 very soft passes (babied it out of the hole starting in 2nd). Best MPH was 145mph Ran out of gear at the top end with the 3.55 gears

The car is cyber grey metallic, which has a lot of gold, green and blue pearl/flake to it. Being a car with more round lines compared to the c6/camaro that has sharper angles, the color "pops" differently. I love the a2w's on the street. Buddy of mine built a 12 gallon ice/water chest that goes in the rear and the pump can either be turned on manually or its setup to turn on when the TPS is >50%. You can see in the pictures, where the muffler use to be on the passenger side, there's a box. That's the heat exchanger with 3 SPAL puller fans and a scoop on it

Boost controllers are amazing things. Car hooks in 2nd

I love the FR500's too. They're 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the rear in the 05+ Mustang offset. Can't beat them at a little over $100 a wheel!

how much MPH did you pick from the 1/8 to the 1/4 on that pass, it was pulling like a freight train out the back end
