Default New setup is done

Car is back in my garage. Runs very hard, Sean at OC Corvettes did a fantastic job. 680rwhp, 565rwtq, 10lbs of boost. There was more room in it, but the car is a handful on the street even on the R-compounds anyway. The seats are awesome, and check out the mad crazy jdm stickers I put on (with no measuring tape or anything, just a plain old naturally gifted sonofabitch, thats me!)

Here she is, down low and ready to go.

Its really not bad. The SD tune is amazing, it drives and idles like a completely stock car, but put your foot into it and as you get past 3k on the tach you better be holding on tight because in first and second it blows off the tires, and third and fourth slingshot you to 140mph.

Nice Pakisho! Very tastefully done. Not too big on stripes, but those look good. Give's it kind of a "bad attitude" look. Very Nice
