    Hit 1000 miles over the weekend and did WOT twice. Felt really good.
    1st and 2nd gear are really kinda useless with a 6 speed.
    The gearing is so steep you need to get out of them pretty fast. I can see why the A8 autos are killing them at the track.

    Going to atleast try and get my splash guards on this week and get a hand wax done. The car still doesn't have any protectant on other that what came from the factory.

    Nice! I didn't think the engine bay was that tiny. From the outside it doesn't look it. Or is it just the pictures?

    Thanks. Hoping to get its first coat of wax on this weekend as well as the splash guards.
    The hellcat airbox might be a bust as my stock airbox already has a hole for the ram air tube. So, I might just use it.
    It was a bitch getting thru the break in proc but now that its over, ive been opening it up quite a bit.
    Hope to hit union dragstrip for some 1/8 mile times during the fall.

    I am very happy with my 'ol Vette, but I would be lying if I didn't rubberneck the hell out of these '16s when they roll by. I would either go with the blue, purple, or lime green. They all pop and all look fantastic. They need to make color changing paint.

    Everyone I know is not keen on plum crazy. I was drooling over the HC while they were prepping my SP.
    I could do purple.

    I'm no Dogde guy, but I could pretty much deal with a new Challenger in any color as long as it is of the SRT variety.

    My buddy traded in his chipped GTI for a 2015 camaro ss. The gti was 308hp and he thinks it would be pretty close up to 1/8 mile. He misses it.

    There's so much that can be done to and STi to get power out of it. There's a kid in Colorado that's gone full retard on his STi and has dyno'ed at 500+hp at the wheels. I'll dig up the vid when NASIOC comes back online (insert LoL).

    This is how the P-1SC-1 procharger will be situated in the engine bay with the shaker.
    Tight squeeze.
    Was on the phone with procharger talking about internals and such and the 600 hp to the pavement
    is within the rhealm of what im looking for. Probably ordering sometime in august.
