Hey Will, I'm guessing that was your Silver GS with the HREs at SRT in November?

Man, that is one beautiful GS - very well put together - very clean. I was up there having some work done, and Mo took me and another weekend tripper, Peter from Chicago (Got a Stage 2, a.k.a Sleeping Beauty), for a ride before the new Stage 3 was in, and it was a beast then; I can only imagine how crazy fast it is now. Amazing brakes as well - you need them!

Guys, the first SCs had a pretty distinctive whistle - the new setups are whisper quiet comparatively.

Congrats. Take care of that perfect ride, or else I will be forced to come up there and take it off your hands.

Yep, that was my car. I did not know that Mo was taking people for rides in it without consulting me though. That actually really pisses me off. No wonder my tires are bald now, I know how he drives. As for the car, I am taking care of it, I just detailed it yesterday, so I dont think you will be taking it off my hands anytime soon, unless you drop a HUGE check in my lap

Sure, I can understand.

But FWIW, he didn't tear it up or anything; just demonstrating their first incarnation of their SC; just a quick spin around the block.

But yeah, he made me about crap myself when taking me for a spin in MY car showing off my newly installed intake and TC :eek: :eek:

Thumbs up Most excellent

Will,

Very nice! I'm wondering, is that a production supercharger

I notice by the pics that one "upgrade" is on your car. I need to bug Mo about the flexible coupling right before the BOV. That will help isolate any vibration from the IC and other places.

Let us know when you get a chance to go to the track and please post a dyno!

This kit looks awesome, in order to crush M5, our GS has to run under 13''s. I expect 4.6 to 60 and 12.9 1/4 miles. I can't wait to see the real numbers = )

This is the production supercharger, its brand new. As for the bodykit, it is a Rod Millen front bumper, TTE grill, Veilside skirts and rear bumper and a Blitz wing, with HRE 545 wheels. I'm not sure exactly sure what the car will run in the 1/4 mile or 0-60 but I do know that the last supercharger kit on the car was good enough to beat 3 M5's. The numbers everyone reads in magazines for 0-60 and 1/4 mile times I think are BS. Those guys are professional drivers and if you look at some of the tracks they even go down hill. In the real world a supercharged GS will beat up on M5's, I have done it.

I saw Will's car also in December when I had my HFI and TC installed. Car looked nice except the engine was apart since Mo was busy getting the SC installed. Nice ride you got there Will, no ride for me though haha. Enjoy and drive safely.

Dudes as I've been telling you with a "paltry" 322 RWHP I can play and win against an M5. Hell, I've taken a C5 on the expressway and a Camaro SS from a dead stop.

With wills stage III he's in the big leagues! He'll be kicking some Ferrari, Z06 and M3 butt.

Will: I know it's the production SC, see this thread, I was just taking a friendly jab at some folks here who continue to refuse to acknowledge that this kit is real.
