Some new pics of the car

Well, in the past 2 weeks, Stella has seen 15+ passes at the track. I was going to take her to MIR today, but with the weather, and all the beating I've been doing on her, decided to give her a quick wipe down, give her a rest and take some pictures of her.

I'm not photographer, but constructive criticism is welcome, just take into account I have no idea on the settings of this camera (Wifes Rebel XT), and I used trusty old Microsoft Picture Manager to re size and auto correct them.

One of the nicest rides on the board and great pictures. Also capable of blowing most GT's in the dirt.

the car looks great

I am in the same boat as you however, and sometimes the lighting or other factors really mess up my pics. I am going to take a photography class this fall i think, tired of missing all the soccer and softball game pics for one reason or the other.

anyhow, great looking car

I like the overall look a lot, and the numbers behind it aren't bad either! Do you have springs in the car? Which? How bad is the clearance with the CDC agressive?

LOL. Thanks man. While it does not look like it, the setup on this car is very drag racing oriented.

Stock springs, I'm going with some tokico dspecs next. I don't plan to lower the car, so have no clearance issues with the aggressive, but, I always take speed bumps at a angle just in case. It has every suspension piece that CHE makes though.

Yea, I used to have center fogs. But really dig it more now without the fogs as well.

Thanks. It went 7.5's on the 8th last week at Old Dominion. It's only at 8.5lbs of boost right now, still getting the hang of launching it, and haven't tried the transbrake yet.

Your car is the posterchild for the philosophy "less is more".

Great looking car.

Very nice pics indeed. Just out of curiosity, is that the standard V6 spoiler, or is it aftermarket
