Alot slower lol. But that being said

With a set of exhaust and a new computer they came out with it should be pushing 615-620rwhp

When the tuning is available slap on a 150shot and call it a day!

This car is way more "refined". I love it.

Car is going to get dropped lower then it sits now. I was afraid with the 19/20 setup it was going to be to close to the fenders. Didnt realize the profile of the tire was acually shorter then the stock size by almost an inch even though it is a 20in rim!

Anyway here are the pics.







Ill get better ones when its cleaned up and dropped
Bad ***!
