Hey guys..

Just picked up a really nice 4,000 mile base model SGM 13 that has nav and Recaros just like I wanted. This thing is a cream puff. Been doing research for some time, so I knew what I wanted done even before I bought it or drove it..LOL

I had the blower ported and powder coated to match valve covers, CJ65 TB ported, Kooks long tubes and off-road X-pipe, 15% underdrive, Bob's ultimate oil separator (powder coated to match valve covers and blower), JLT 123 CAI, 3:73 gears, and a great tune.

Had it dyno'd 3 days ago on a heartbreaker dyno and it put down 717/762 thw's.. Needless to say, I'm super stoked about it and happy to be a part of the GT500 family.. Looking forward to getting behind the wheel of it once it's finally delivered to get some seat time.. LOL

:beer:

Enjoy but be careful with traction, please tell me you have replaced the factory rubber?

Lots of new owners lately! 13 and 14's are moving on to new owners with the GT350 coming on the scene...(and the occasional HC ;)

Congrats on the new car!
