    Re: The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    Took some time today and polished my car with griots correcting cream.

    It finished out nicely with the yellow boss pad. I think I could have had better correction with with a orange pad followed up with perfecting cream bit I was trying to keep it to 1 step.

    Finished it off with mckees paint coating.

    I have never taken it to the track. I do go to the Tail of the Dragon every year though if that counts!

    I was curious how much power you could add, I'm assuming they are light weight.

    Tail of the dragon is on my list of things I want to do or see!

    We were in Arkansas last year and were going to do the pig trail but it rained pretty heavy the day we were there so we didn't do it.

    Well to answer your other question the car is 65/35 so it's nose heavy, even though it weighs 2500 lbs, it pushes going into turns as the front end feels like it's scrubbing the road. Its also a little tall and sadly has a glass sunroof. It was a demo so I had no choice in the matter.

    It has power mods that push it pretty close to 200 up and people have already done turbo upgrades that put it anywhere from 230-300 whp. Check out StefAB channel on YouTube, cool UK guy. He's at 250/280 and had to upgrade the clutch as well.

    This car on the Dragon would be a handful ofcoarse but driven "nicely" you'd be ok. Now the road you would enjoy more would be the Cherhola Skyway as it more "open" and goes for 57 miles, up to 1 mile high elevation and breathe taking views. Its not too late to join us out there, drop me a PM if you wanna chat about it and more details, I've been going every year since 2003 so I know about the area and other roads pretty well.
