Just as a suggestion. You really should check out the American LeMans Series race at "The Glen". I went to the event held at "Lime Rock" last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's pretty awesome watching several classes of cars i.e. Prototypes, GT's, & 'Challenge' cars dicing it out on the track at the same time. Not to mention the casual atmosphere, bring chairs a picnic lunch, sit under the trees & watch the race.

Been running around all day getting parts but finally got some new rubber on the Hockenheim's. Decided on the BFGoodrich GForce Sport Comp2's. Good looking tread pattern and good tread wear rating for performance tires. Heres some pics:

The bars of the grille, yes they look good because the weave pattern of the carbon fiber runs even with the bar in the grille.

The emblem? No. It makes it look all crooked.

Thats about as low as Im willing to go on struts/springs. ATL's roads are more like a lunar surface than a race track. If the XYZ's come in then it can drop some more. LOL I took half my stickers off for you guys!! All I have on there now are the AEM, NWP and Mishimoto stickers on the sides and an eat sleep Nissan on the back. They stay

Stick a GPS on your windshield. It's more accurate, and costs as much or is cheaper than having the speedo repaired.

At the dealer I used to work at, we used to send our broken speedo's to a speedo repair shop down the street. They charged us anywhere from $125-250 depending on the type of speedo.

I really think its going to surprise alot of people. Not that many people think a SRI adds loads of HP but I think the stock numbers are going to be very close. Not surpass the Bomz but close. As long as they have good fans it should be close

The roads here are in pretty good shape. The only thing that gets you being really low here is that many neighborhoods have massive speed bumps, and many gas stations, shopping centers, etc. have steep entry/departure angles.
