Yeah, that's a close one there as to whether wrenching or polishing is the better therapy.

 

O crap alan's gonna be going over my car in detail? I'll have to clay bar it for a week and spend the week after that waxing to get it up to his level of detail. Or just bring ear plugs to block out the commentary. Lol i'd appreciate it. While jj is no slouch in the cleaning department i'm with him, gotta have my wrench time.

 

I went with the Nitto 555r's. Love them so far.. they may wear quicker, but on the street they are nice, and perform halfway decent in the rain.

Here is my link on the tires:

I also did a quick rain drive video to show how they do in the rain. I wouldn't go out when they wear down alot, but with almost new tread they work great so far.

 

I woke up early this morning and thought I haven't looked at the forum in a while and all I can say is WOW!!!! Nice ride Alan!!! Love it!!!! Oh and try newspaper on the windows it doesn't streak. And again AWESOME SNAKE!!!!!!

 

Not sure what I am going to get but it won't be another set of these. I was in second gear about half throttle and punched it. It lit up the rear like crazy. I know it has more power but these tires might as well be ice skates.

I am really happy Donald. I should have been content with the car I had but I have been thinking about a 03-04 Cobra or a Shelby for a long time. The car was sold new by Keeter and is a one owner. I actually spoke with Lyle Sturgis from Keeter the day I bought the car. Knowing some history on the car made me feel much better about buying it.

 

Yep, that was my world a month and a half ago. How many miles are you planning on driving the car a year? I have heard the Nitto Invos are decent also with more lifespan.. but probably wont be as good as the 555r's. I love my Drag radials... and honestly.. you THINK you enjoy the car now? Wait until you put a set of stickies on there and do a 2nd gear stomp, hit 3rd hard, then 4th. It will feel like a 100% different car. This car is for lack of better words, "orgasmic" when its not spinning.

 

Installed my JLT goodies (thanks Hypermotive) tonight. No tune intake tube and passenger side oil separator.

Oil Separator, just plug and play - 30 second swap.


Intake tube - before.


Side by side -


The factory tube is essentially a muffler -


The JLT tube is just carbon fiber -


JLT install, looks great, fits great -


Much better -

 

Looks good buddy

 

Thanks John, in my efforts to keep the car stock I have bought hood struts, side splitters, intake tube and oil separator from Hypermotive. Dang it, must refocus........

Can't wait to drive it tomorrow and hear the difference without the muffler.

 

Nice. How you like the louder supercharger? I like cracking the window when I am driving in my neighborhood and hearing the "whine".. love it.
