Thanks for the kudos! I was thinking about getting a M5 when it first came out, but still liked my GS, and I wanted to be able to take out 90% of the cars out there for the next couple of years, and still keep my Lexus luxury. Basically, with all of the new stuff inside my car, including the race tranny, engine (pistons,etc), suspension, electronics, wheels, brakes, and radio mods, a little over 25k. That is including the SRT Supercharger kit I had on the car previously. Basically, I have a brand new car with pushing 500rwhp. Would I do it again? Don't know, but I'll enjoy the car as is...

Re: SRT 2nd Generation Twin Turbo GS400
Congrats Man!!! Your car is definitely a major league monster now with all the mods you have done to it.
I have a question about this nav unit. If no one has expressed interest in it already, I am very much interested in taking it off your hands. Please PM me with details on it and what comes with the unit (i.e. is it a complete navigation unit?) How does it compare to the Pioneer NavSys 910DVD unit?

I'll do a review in the electronics section since I also looked at the Clarion, Alpine, and Sony units too.

2nd gen TT looks much better than 1st gen. Congrats on the beast. I also like those true dual custom exhaust. That must sound mean without the center resonator. Now give us some real Dyno #s. Good job to both you and SRT

Yes, both intakes are now at the bottom, out of view; but they get the full effect of the front lip pushing air right to them. Also like the two BOVs, one goes off then the other goes off. Kinda gives you a PSSSSSST!, PSSST! type of sound. Also kinda cool sound with the exhaust system since both exhaust pipes are kinda independent of each other. I will try to capture the exhaust and post the sound bit somewhere. The exhaust is very quiet, until you get into it, then there is a slight roar. No droning at all.

Thanks
Yeah my car was the prototype for the 1st TT setup, so I got a break on some of the labor. Basically, it was at SRT for months, and I do mean MONTHS. If I included labor too, I would be looking at another GS in terms of payment.
