Looks REALLY nice *I* would lose the pin stripe; it takes away from the appearance of the car, IMO.

The car has a forged 370 iron block engine with ported LS6 heads, G5-x2 cam, race prepped A4 tranny with a 3200 Vig convertor. Suspension is LG Motorsports. The car ran 6.7s last time at the track. The wheels are 17X9.5 with a 37mm offset. I had a new set of dag radials mounted on the rear wheels yesterday.

Because they are forged. They are very light weight and strong.
