I don't have any blower whine with my KB (and I like it that way), but if I need to dissuade a fart can, the electric cutouts are at my fingertip.

IF you live in LA, you don't have to worry about kicking some dents in, they come with the territory

What are you guys doing?

No Emblem rob, trust me.. less likely a thief is going to go after your car.

It's like sticking an advertisement on your car...

ading supercharged badges is just plain dorky and why would you want to advertise your ace card?
Do you have a need to impress people or do you want to smoke them before they know what hit them?

I'm not one for badging, but when I put my Saleen front fascia on (and pulled the Saleen emblem off), I had to put *something* there to fill the blank spot on the grille. Cutting it out wasn't an option, due to the way they molded the plastic around it (would have looked like ***). I used this one, for lack of a simple 'Ford' emblem or something:

I'm still looking for something better that fits.

My GT's a sleeper. Stock 17's, MAC exhaust and a Paxton Novi 1200. I was coming home last night on the freeway, cruising at 80 in the #1 lane. A 6.0L GTO got on the road and pulled up next to me and started to tap his throttle. We slowed down to about 60 then I dropped it to 3rd and pulled on him hard. Then the fun began. I'd let him catch up then I'd floor it. He saw my taillights the whole time.

I have a friend that has a Vortech blower and his is quieter than my Saleen... I love the sound of mine, but if you pull up next to me you will know I have a blower.

I don't have badges or anything, but for me unless you have your windows up the game will probably be up anyway.

Me too!!!
I think mine still looks like a sleeper even with the s/c badges. Plus you actually get more C6's interested in racing you once they know you might be able to give them a run for their money.

Hi...

I went "sleeper" all the way! My car is one of the featured projects for Big 3 Performance. They called it "07 Sleeper". If you want to see pictures of my car being modified...go to this site: http://www.big3performance.com/gallery/07_sleeper/index.html

I added some new wheels and tires after these performance modifications, but nothing else to give away what is under the hood. Some guys know what a supercharger sounds like and they end their challenge right away. Some people don't know what a S/C sounds like and the surprise on their faces when I hit the gas is JUST priceless!
It's cool being sneeky!
