I havent yet but i want to bad! I have a buddy that races his S2000 at the track down near ATL though and it looks like a blast! I did have some fun with a 2009 Shelby GT500 yesterday. It was modified on top of the GT500 package and made me realize how bad i need a supercharger on my car One of these days!!

yea, a blown GTO pretty much owns everything on the road, torque is an amazing feeling isnt it?

Love it!! Mines a 05 with the LS2 and it puts out 400hp/400tq stock and its fast as is so i cant wait to start modding it again. The new kiddo has put the mods on the back burner, for now anyway. I've done a bunch of exterior stuff so far and a pretty sick (loud) exhaust that i love Its a 6 speed so its just a blast to drive. I can only imagine what it feels like in a small car like yours.

its awesome, spinning the tires in 3rd gear on a cold morning is amazing, Im always replacing something though, but its worth it, I went from nor knowing how to change my oil to swapping out cracked turbo manifolds, to replacing worn bearings in my drive axle, "pay for tools, not labor"

I want my car to really scare me though, I want 500RWHP by FALL, its amazing what gearing and a little bit of HP can do for a 2,800lb car

yeah i know what you mean. Its a great feeling to do your own work. I've been working on my own cars/trucks since i was 16. Started out with changing the alternator and before i knew it i was pulling motors and trannys. I wish i had more time and space to do that now. All in good time i suppose.

Talk about scaring oneself, this is what i want to do to mine eventually

I used to have an S2000 when they first came out - fun car if you keep it at 8900 RPM

Nice project, that turned out great!

Nice car Joey!!! I plan on posting pics of my Altima soon. She's in the shop right now. Btw, I hope that that "evil twin of yours" doesn't have any influence on you!

Good to "see" ya.

This is it. I get on ls1gto quite a bit when I have money to spend, but I try to stay away from there when I don't have any extra money. That place makes me want to buy a whole bunch of stuff for it. Next on the list is a cam.
