S550 In Da House!

[Department Of Boost]

Getting picked up in the morning. Friday is supposed to be nice out. We're going to measure it up and see how much wheel tire can be stuffed under it and if it's nice enough take it out to the twisty roads (85mi loop) and compare it to my 2012 Brembo car.

It's actually my partner Alex's. Not that it matters much, I'll be driving it plenty! And I will be working on it a lot. I'm waiting on the GT350.

Nice! Can't wait to see what you do to it...

Plans are to keep it very reasonable. HUGE wheels and tires. We're hoping for 12-12.5 in the rear and 10.5 up front. Some sort of tricky custom exhaust. A blower. Maybe some coilovers. Some subtle but cool appearance mods.

But knowing Alex he will get bored over the winter and go bonkers on trick little stuff.

The best laid plans always start out easy and within reason.... then human nature kicks in and you have to go completely overboard! Sub'd for the overboard!

We're not fans of turbo's on front engine RWD cars unless it's a drag car. This is not a drag car.

If they came from the factory with turbo's cool. But aftermarket stuff is a packaging PITA.

It will be a while before we have wheels on it. We have to measure everything up first and then get wheels made. Same thing for the coilovers. I will probably build some custom Penske units.

I was thinking the same thing! If those mods are considered "reasonable," I'd love the see what be considered "extreme!" NASCAR Sprint Cup car, Daytona Prototype...??? LOL

In for pics of reasonable mods

We're going to move the rear shocks for more wheel/tire clearance.

It looks like 10.5" wheel max on the front.

And 11.5" wheel max on the rear.

I'm thinking that if we move the rear dampers we can go 13+"

I like it in white, minus the front bumper. Maybe if someone comes out with an awesome looking front bumper (smaller grille) i might be game to buy one.
