I can't say that I've ever seen a DSG Lightning before, but I don't pay attention too much either. Looks awesome.

OH, Welcome. :goodidea:

Thanks SV1000s. I am running Dynatech longtubes and high flow cats with the Magnaflow bullet mufflers. I'm actually in the Robinson area. Just moved here a few months ago from Connecticut, so still learning the area.

It has a few bolt-ons. Mainly intake, exhaust, pulley, and programmer. I drive it year round when the roads are dry, but I have an Chevy Impala for rain or snow days.

Do you work off of Campells Run Rd? I've seen a Stang like yours there a few times.

It's going to seem like a slug compared to your beast. We can set something up though. I'd like to see your Stangs in person.

No more mods planned for it. I'd actually like to save up and get another toy for the stable in a few years. Something manual again, but not sure exactly what yet. Kinda partial to the Terminators. We'll see....

Woodbury, but I went to college in Danbury at West Conn, and had a lot of friends in that area. Ever go to the car shows at Marcus Dairy?

That's cool. I work off of Campbells. Looking forward to the next big meetup once the weather gets better. :goodidea:

Yup, I'm at Hawthorne. Some interesting vehicles there. There's a few Vettes, RX8s, a WRX STi, and a Lotus Elise that I've seen.

My Cobra should be out of the paint shop in the next few weeks, but it wont hit the road till April or so depending on the weather. An 03-04 Cobra would be a sick addition to a Lightning! Dosent you Impala have a v-8?
What kinda h.p. does it put out?

The Impala has the LS4 V8. It's rated at 303 HP. It's a comfy quiet car, which is a nice contrast to the truck, which can get a little loud. :D

I use to go to car show with my cousin up there when I was younger but I don't rememeber which ones. It was always beautiful up there in the summertime.:yes:
