Default Hooked up with member Rider today!

We decided to hook up and drive each others' cars. I feel his Invidia setup is louder than mine, but as he correctly indicated earlier, engine noise takes over at over 3k RPM for some strange reason.

The thing is, it got me doubting my car as well, but I feel mine has a more consistent growl upwards of 3k RPM.

Let's wait for his filter to arrive, maybe that's the uncommon denominator between us. Or it could just be his Invidia axle backs compared to my Tanabe's.

Anyways, took some iPhone shots while we were there!

Rule 1: Never talk to a passenger/driver in a Scuderia! It looks odd! LOL

Both cars look great, but Rider's looks amazing. Those may be the best aftermarket wheels I have seen on a GS, and they're shod in Michelins. A man of the utmost taste.

They look almost identical to the 1st generation F-Sport wheels.
