too bad its not a cobra....color is awsome and love hood and rims....cant make that ride look much better than that. CLEAN....get a supercharger and put the cobra rear end on that bitch....but fill in the cobra indention on the rear bumper....dont lie cuz its not a cobra but a cobra rear end with small spoiler would look sick like the 2003.

Your car is sooooo sick!!!
BTW, how many miles can u get on those BFG DR's on the street? Im in the market for some new BFG KDW2 rear's in a 295/35/18, but since my car isnt a DD, I was considering a set of the BFG DR's... Just depends on if I can get a decent amount of miles on them if Im not burning out often....

I think he has a KB blower & why does it matter that its not a Cobra if he's already in "Cobra Territory" as far as power is concerned???
I like the car because its unique & its a BAD@$$ rare color.... [ March 04, 2008, 01:53 AM: Message edited by: EPIKMACH ]

thanks for the kind words bro. its your month BTW. this is actually my second set of BFG drag radials and i gotta be honest im not so sure about the life of these tires. my first set were 295's and they went to the track a lot with a healthy burnout so im not so sure. my car is also not a DD so i expect a lot of life out of these 315's. i told myself that these tires were never going to the track and no playing with the line lock. thats what the slicks are for. the only time the tires spin is from traction issues . i would say go for the 315-30-18. you won't be disappointed.

Thanks... I was gonna remind everyone its MY MONTH!!! LOL !!!
Im hoping i can squeeze at least 10K miles out of them, with only street use of course....My car doesnt have anywhere near the power yours is pushing, so i might go with another set of the KDW2's, but I would love to run those DR's in a 315!!!

hahaha same here. my car and rain just dont mix. i kinda point and laugh at all the nice cars that are out in the rain. i guess too because im EXTREMELY anal about my car. the exterior, interior, engine compartment, and even the underside of my car has to stay clean.

For real...Im the same way.. My car needs a good wax/buff detail & the underside needs to be pressure washed. I was forced to drive it last winter before I got my DD & I had no garage back then...
What wax do u use??

to be honest im not too familiar with the multi stage wax jobs but would be interested in learning. im just using the crappy mothers single stage wax. there is a whole section over at svtp that deals with cleaning and waxing. that 4-6 stage jobs are nuts.

My car needs another wax bad..Last time, i had my detailer buddy help me & we dud the claybar, polish, buff, & then hand wax. It was an all day job, but my car looked flawless after.... m gonna have to do it on my own this time... I think Im just gonna claybar it & use some good wax by hand....

to be totally honest i really don't want to cage my car so i think im going to be racing at sac this season. i might go to infineon but i might need to handicap myself to keep from running too quick without a cage. its 11.50 and below right??

Which mode are you shooting in? In some of the pictures where the background doesn't matter try shooting in "A" mode and setting it to the lowest number your lens will allow (probably somewhere around 3.5-4.5 or so) and it will blur the background more. Car's looking great!

Bring what you got and hope its enough!
