Jesus, the paint on that thing is mint. I've always said that black is a badass color......only when it's mint. Too bad my black car is 96% of the time dirty.

1) Nice car. 
Our old club project car was an A4 '02 WS6 with a little P1SC that made 580rwhp on boost + mild H/C setup, with an unlocked stall. Went 130mph traps, at full weight with 3.23 gears and a stock catback!
2) There is nothing wrong with having two F-bodies. I'm planning to soon have three. 
3) That car is MUCH nicer than any FRC. An FRC looks foul compared to a normal C5 anyway, IMO.
4) Nothing wrong with stock ride height. It's nice not to scrap the exhaust on everything higher than a pebble.

I don't mean to switch cars! I sold the Blue TA on impluse and still regret it badly, the white TA I bought to sell and got impatient and modded it, even though I wasn't happy with the car itself. I consider this car the true replacement for the blue TA and seems to be a keeper. I was entertaining the idea of selling it to make a profit since I got such a good deal on it, but I think I'd be kicking myself if I did that!
I agree on the height though, I like it! The front could go maybe 1/2" lower, but other than that I'll leave it.

yeah when I opened this thread I was looking for a Raptor hood on the white TA. thought that would be pretty mean looking til' I read the mods on this new car you got. geeze, got it for less than 18K is a GREAT deal. WOW! makes me wish I would've waited out and found one already built instead of having to build it. but man that car looks good. can't wait to see you running around in it if I ever come down!

Thanks alot guys, I'm completely happy with this car! I noticed the polish on the scoop after I took the pic, I haven't had a chance to process them so I thought I'd throw them up as they were, thanks for the edit!
Thanks for the comment Speed Density! I try to make/keep them nice and semi original, although I'm not sure how original I can be with a Black WS6, lol. I have a few little ideas for it that I think will set it apart subtly.
