I am sure all you chicago guys have seen the car a million times at SP and I haven't seen it a single time since feb of 05. haha

Man...would I love to get a ride in that thing. 690 rwhp! Are you serious? Way to go.
The car is lowered and you still have all that much space in the wheel wells? Those must be 16 inch wheels? Put some 18's on and the ride would be perfect. I'm guessing 19's would be too big for that much power.

690 Rwhp??????
690 RWHP on an SC? Wow....That is alot of power....How ever do you get those tires to grip the road...At 400rwhp it is a traction nightmare in the first to gears...
.Awesome anyway...Can you spin the rears in 3rd gear without clutch use? That would be insane... Congrats on your project.....

Hey Ethan, welcome back! I guess I'm one of the 5 that remember you LOL!! The car looks beautiful, well worth the wait. I hope this one treats you better than the last one LOL!! My baby is finally going under the knife this month (after staring at the parts in my garage for 3 years, does that count??)
Anyway, it's good to see you back. Can't wait to hear about the results
