Good job. Be careful of running in those "construction zones" all over the place, double points and double fine. Where was this massacre at btw?

For the rest of the board you never know what you are running against around here due to RennTech being here. The cars are total Q-Ships, maybe a little extra aero pkg but crazy motors. I saw a K8 SL take off one day and felt like I was going in reverse. So taking on a Benz here and trouncing it is a big deal. Most of those Renn's are putting out 600Hp/650Tq , the prices are just as crazy unfort. $25K to just open the hood

They are on N Killian Drive right across the street from Bev Smith Ford on NorthLake. I eat lunch alot at Russo Subs (the best ever btw) and drive by their shop all the time to drool.

I feel quite lucky....got one of each. They are both phenomenal cars!!! I couln't agree more with Evan..the lambo is nothing special. I drove one a few weeks before my TT hit the port and I wasn't impressed. After racing a Gallardo in my E55 and pulling it, I was even happier. I really feel that both the E55 and TT are the best in their respective categories.
Evan..one recommendation for the E55, get the Renntech steering wheel. I did and it is awesome. I attached a pic of it (not from my car though). I paid too much because I got ot whe it first came out.

When you stop at Renntech, tell Bob Brady that Chad says hi. They have done alot of work for me. I have their one and only six speed CLK60.
