if u don't mind, what size wheels are those? They KINDA look like 17s, but I think 17s on the GS with fat tires make it more racing looking, just my 2 cents (because I've seen 16" or 17" Advan RGs on a GS and it looks sweet still)

Right now I am running about 7-8 pounds of boost. The wheels are 18 inch HRE 540 series. The reason they look like 17 is because the outter lip is an inch so the inner 5 spoke part is 17 inches. The body kit is a RMM front, with a TTE gril, Veilside skirts and rear, and a Blitz spoiler. For prices on it ask Dave at Gt autosports. Since all the pieces were seperate and I ordered them almost 4 months ago I'm not sure exactly what they cost.

Sorry guys, I forgot the 0-60 times and stuff. At the track last summer in Buds Creek Maryland the car ran a 13.6 at lik 104 mph. The car had more in it that day but i was disqualified from the braket racing. I also just purchased a G-Tech pro. With that I ran 0-60 in a best of 4.6 and a quarter mile of 13.0. Of course I had added my torque convertor before I made these runs, so that is the reason the times are lower than on the track. As soon as I get my car re-tunned one more time and get my tranny computer I will be going to the track again, and will post more newer times.

Thumbs up

Very nice, whose supercharger kit? Is that a Vortech or an ATI head unit? Glad to see you are going to the track. 7-8psi should be good for 400-425hp. I think once you get used to launching it you will see mid 12s at around 107-110mph.

Will,

Great looking ride. Interesting that is almost the same kit combo on Martin Kraft's car. His pieces were customized by Bruce Nomura, and I think his grill is a RMM w/o the cross piece, but everything else is the same. Gsnav also has the RMM fronts with Veilside sides and rear. I must admit the combo is striking. That's why I also asked Steve Ganz to quote me the Veilside pieces along with the hood. I also like the L-Sportline fronts.
