My New Ride!!!

[rnielsen]

Hi guys. It's been a while since I've been on this forum or been on one of your canyon runs. Sean and some of the guys may remember me when we used to meet on Sundays at Savi Ranch. I previously owned a built supercharged 97 red Cobra, then I bought a 2007 Saleen Extreme. Sold the Saleen a few months back and got this nasty B**tch! I have a couple of more mods to do to get it just right, but it's pretty much what I wanted in a car. Let me know what you think??

Rick

To all: thanks for the compliments, much appreciated.

Vettezuki: the photos didn't cost me a thing, it was a friend of a friend deal for some promo work he was doing. I thought he did a great job.

Wow.

Bob

Thanks guys. she is a monster!

[Damian]

I don't even want to know how much all of that cost. Although, I will be looking into the coilpack delicacies and valve covers. I hate the GTO FRCs, yours look much much cleaner.

It does cost money to play!! Actually, I was a porn star for a short time to pay for the car!! LOL. Pay isn't great , but the fringe benefits aren't bad.

Seriously, the coil pack relocate is very clean and functional. Katech makes some nice stuff.

Damn, I hate iPhone autocorrect sometimes. I meant to type "relocation" and not "delicacies".

That's alright Damian, never heard coil packs described that way, but they could be viewed as a delicacy. LOL!!

[Damian]

I do like those CF valve covers.

[Damian]

Swa this Vette today at Cars and Coffee, absolutely gorgeous car. Nice meeting you too.

[Rexxyou]

LOVE the wheels

[sinaSRT-4]
