I have to laugh every time someone runs down the automatics. I guess its just some macho BS as though its so manly to drive a manual.

no one sells a cheap narrow wheel for the s197
So I got a extra spare wheel from downriverT

factory (17") wheel and pzero tire weighted 42 lbs.
new skinnies on spare wheel 19 lbs. total savings 46 lbs.

Default poorman ram air

Here are 2 pics of my poorman ram air

what I did was cut the headlight open and remove the clear lens, the chrome reflector and
lightbulb. added some ducting to the backside so that the air rams in the air filter.

Agent 47 sell a headlight that hooks to the factory airbox and claims 80-100 mph times dropped 0.5 second off their times

justin from JPC also has a similar setup (ram air headlight)
