when I take into account the lighter wheels and exhaust the car sits right at 100 lbs under stock weight...time to find another 100. I plan on getting gt3 seats but the car has stock sport seats so they aren't as heavy as the full power seats so it won't save too much. and no, I'm not going on a diet! I am a healthy 6'2 at 180 lbs

I will keep most of it because although it's not my dd I'll do a lot of driving around the country in it.
I've been researching
GMG knows who I am right now lolRennline
honestly I have no idea what they're worth at this point, I'd have to look into it
Thanks! I'm loving it!

Thanks! I'm loving it. I got my first cel but it still drives fine so I'm gonna take it up to At Speed and get it checked out.

WHY you guys like to make thing very difficult.Your car is a really nice ride but the models look like they also are a beatiful nice ride.There is no way you can concentrate on the cars because of the models and viceversa no way to concentrate on the girls with those two beautiful P-cars
The four of them have very nice wheels and tails

God times at the MPact car show Saturday...this was the photo shoot Randomquickness and I did with the models...the pics came out real well and the blonde and brunette were both good sports...they traded off each car and did pics with both...overall it went really well. To top things off we both took home a trophy from the show. Randomquickness (whose car looked great even more in person than in the pics) for furthest traveled participant and mine was 2nd place top exotic car...I didn't think that they considered Porsche GT2 as an exotic and that I would get this over a bunch of lambos and Ferraris, but guess the judges liked it...first place in Exotics was a custom Lambo Murci LP640, which really did deserve to win.

just figured I'd check in with an update! I've put 10K miles on the car in the 4 months I've owned it. The Toyos are DONE so I have some MPSS coming in this week. The cel is for a camshaft position sensor and haven't had it checked out yet since my schedule has been crazy this summer. I haven't done any more mods yet because I came out of pocket buying another dd since my e30 needs some restoration time. Now that the tires are on the way I'm planning to get to work on the suspension before I head back to TX in September.
