Well, all you SCS members are going to LOVE this.....
I flew to North Carolina yesterday morning to pick up my new ride ... Only have 1 pic so far - and unfortunately i had to drive it back on nothing but brine covered roads (in anticipation for the really bad storm they will be getting over the next couple days)..... so its quite dirty in the pic!! I will post more when i get it all cleaned up

I absolutely LOVE this car... the nitrous bottles are not hooked up, so no i haven't used it yet... I've never been into n2o int he past, but i got the ok from a couple people that this was a top-of-the-line system... i won't be using it until i get a chance to put the car on Wolfpack's dyno and verify with my own eyes that the a/f ratio's are good... Also, he explained the whole system to me, but i'd rather regurgitate what i was told to someone that's more familiar with this stuff before i go using it - and get some tips/direction from the aforementioed person....
Handling on these cars is unreal from the factory, and the QA1 shocks make it amazing... as boring as a 9 hour drive from NC can be, i really wasn't sore, nor pissy when i got home... I'm so thrilled with the car, i didn't care how long i had just drove it! This is my first ever stalled automatic car, and i really love it... put the pedal down even a little on the highway and the car just takes off - no hesitation like every other auto i've ever been in (even performance cars)... it takes off like you're in a manual and you've been sitting in that gear waiting to hit it...
The only thing i don't liek is that the roll cage Fu**'s with your ability to see out the rear-view mirror for someone as tall as me, and i don't liek the fact that the removeable roof is fiberglass, and not real glass... it may be lighter, but when you look through it, you see all the fibers shimmering in the sunlight...
So here's the dirty pic - as i said, more to come!
