I don't see rice in Woofers car for a couple reasons.igdrasil said:
It's pretty tasteful, no giant wings or stupid graphics or outragous jet looking bodyparts. And, he's got the turbo set up to add the performance aspect as well. If he had to, I bet that thing could really move.

And here's a pic of my car just because.

Thanks. I try to keep my car as far from rice as possible. Yes it is built for show, but it's also built to back everything up. My wife drives this car every day so I had to get an auto tranny. Yet within a month of putting the turbo in, I dropped the cash on my tranny to get it beefed up to hold the hp (the shop told me I'm probably fine through 300-350whp). No slippage, trust me when I say this car is mad fun from stop light to stop light. The only problem I seem to have is it spools way to quick and the shifting, I am at 10psi by the time 3500 rpm rolls around. I have my tranny shop working on reprogramming the shift points. I daily drive it at 10psi and have done so for the last year and a half so I think the tranny is holding fine, engine is forged so I'm not worried about that. I did a dyno run not too long ago, but didn't get the car over 6psi due to a bad vacuum line, still managed 171whp at 6psi though. The car has seen 16psi on occassion when I get a little lead foot
Props to you for what youve done performance wise, I see you have J&S and 440cc injectors... I had some issues running 440s with stock ecu. I still dont like the rims and that rear thing. I guess I just like too much the stock bodykit and the sleeper thing.

Just found this thread. There are some BIG contenders in here. Glad to even be considered amoung the elite.
As many of you know, i havent had the best of luck with this car from the start, and pretty much anything that could go wrong with it, has. Basically, like most people on this site, the car was built to be a streetable, daily-driver capable car that didnt sacrifice reliability or driveability for stupid power or exssive bling bling. Most everything on the car has a purpose, but the entire goal was to make the car flow togehter and tie together to creat something special, unique, and impressive.
I only wanted to improve on the stock attributes. The cars mantra was simple: Good braking? We can make it better. Great handling? Lets upgrade everything. Quick? Lets forge the crap out of it and boost it more! Looks sporty? Lets make it have a wider stance and a more agressive front end.
This is only the beginning. Many of you know where this cars new goal of 170mph is going to take it. The end result will be an extenuation of its current state. Clean, tasteful, PURPOSEFUL modifications that blend the entire car into something extrodinary.
Thanks for your consideration in your vote!
