Default 2000 HP in one driveway

I was over a buddy's house today and he was putting in some new Infinity speakers into another forum members brand new C6 and after we were done we took some pictures.

Wow, it was a lot of HP in one driveway. My 02 is at the back and the S4 belongs to a gentleman named Arpad. The Red C6 is my buddy Dan's, so is the silver Saab and the 80 C3 in the garage and the 3 day old Black C6 belongs to Bill. The lucky new owner now with better sounding speakers. It takes a real man to let his 50k 3 day old C6 be ripped apart

Nice grouping of cars...

I think my naily driver explorer is going to get replaced this winter with a Saab 9-3 as well. I've driven one a couple of times when my wife's 9-7x was having service and I liked it.

But I ramble.... nice pic once again.

hmm..Never really thought about tinting it to be honest. Guess it might not look too bad. Is it expensive? Not something I'd want to do myself. I tried that once when I was a kid and it pissed me off too badly

Thanks for your comment on the rims. I still think I should have gone hyper dark rather than chrome but they clean up easily that is for sure.

The SAAB is 250 and the S4 is 360. The C3 is more like 250 no cats and other mods.The Z is 325 but if it said SS and had the CME it would be 345 and I have a lid, GMMG and ported and polished TB so it is probably 350 or more at the flywheel. In my book that is 2010 HP.

Why did I just know someone here was going to question the numbers?
