Actually, the CS-6 has more radical/track suspension than the Terlingua. The Terlingua has a FRPP suspension (relabled Eibach Proline suspension) and the CS-6 has the the Eibach Sportline suspension. The Proline/FRPP lowers the car 1-1.5 inches. The Sportline lowers the car 2 inches and is stiffer. The drawback with the Terlingua is the side exhaust which is a ground clearance issue. The CS-6 has the extra lowering as a clearance issue. If I was going to get a CS-6 kit and make a street car, I would ask for the FRPP/Proline suspension as it much more streetable (same as on the Shelby GT's) especially on less than perfect roads.

The CS6 probably sounds pretty decent. How does it sound compared to the GT500?
Stock GT500s are surprisingly quiet. I have not heard a KR but they are supposedly quite a bit louder.

Also does the gas mileage take a huge hit with the paxton supercharger? This isn't a huge deal and I assume putting premium gas in it alone would make it more expensive, but does it change it drastically?
I get 24 mpg on the highway, 17 in town (according to the car computer).
