You can also cut the roof off and lose about 200 lbs too

EDIT: JP see if you can photoshop a GXP with the roof off and see what it looks like LOL. I know we ask too much of you

Ditch the hood and deck lid, as well.

OK, so I traveled an hour to find out it rained half an inch 2 hours before gates opened and they closed the strip... Hung out with some firiends though, got home at 4, woke up at 8 went on a cruise with another group, got home around 3 and just woke up again, to post this, lol.

While I didn't get to track it, I ran a twin turbo 300ZX with a few things done to it, he put about 1/2-3/4 on me from 30-105 and a manual '09 350Z vert, with an axle-back, put between 1 and 1 and a half lengths on him from 30-110.

Pulled a .95 lat G, also. I had some fun, last night.

And finally, couldn't do the roof delete...

No clue, all I was told was it was TT with a few mods...

As soon as we pay the Ranger off and get my wife a crossover, the GXP is getting gutted and hopefully I can get my turbo, too, then. It'll be an awesome semi-daily, lol.

Every chance I get. If I were tuned, the ZX would've lost too.
