That's CL member Flash Gordon's TT GS. Autoweek was coming the day I left (after my SC install) to do the photo shoot. Cool!

I took a very scary ride in that beast. What a monster.

HELL YEAH!

I went for a ride in the BEAST, and let me tell you everything that journalist said was true! Mitch can really handle the car and this thing can really move......yessir grab the door handle, put your hands on the dash, stomp your feet on the floor board as if you were trying to stop the car yourself kind of speed.

SRT was able to solve Gordon’s transmission problem simply by applying new software to the car.
Is this an accurate statement?

That is too sick. I hope the $70k includes the price of the car.

The must be new (or possibly borrowed for the photoshoot), I'm pretty sure when I rode in it not long ago he had Moda R6's on.
