I don't have much planned for it right now being that i just bought it like 3 days ago. I know in the near future i want some Chrome SS 10 spokes on it, but other than that i'll just leave it alone, for now!

Its def slower than the skittle. Driving it is alittle different. But idc, speed comes with time and $$, and i just need to get the feel of a RWD ls1 with spec S3 clutch. Going from a FWD cable tranny to a RWD car with an aftermarket clutch is wierd. I bet i killed it more than a dozen times the first 2 days i had it. Oh well, I love it, i've been wanting a SS for along time now and finally got me one.
