Bolt on Rearmount turbos for vettes put down 600rwhp without going into the engine.
And if your going for just 300rwhp, then yeah a simple supercharger kit, but that build is beyond just a simple supercharger kit.
I agreed that the LS would be a better starting point if you wanted huge numbers
I wasn't trying to defend that guys set up - more the idea of F/I on a BMW as an easier way to gain power than an engine swap.

H&B? Yea or nay? New special edition factory color for the M3. I haven't been hugely fond of these cars mostly because of the d-bags that drive them around here like they are F1 cars, but this one definitely made it move a little down there for me.
Frozen Grey Metallic:

I'm not a fan of all black wheels but that body color...lovin it.
Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - ScottyB - 10-06-2009
the last picture makes that color look amazing. all the body sculpting is going crazy.
Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - REED - 10-06-2009
oh wow, i was under the impression we weren't getting that special edition here in the states
looks hawt
Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - D_Eclipse9916 - 10-06-2009
Looks like a dark satin gray. I dont know if I would still like it over a white one though...
Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - ViPER1313 - 10-06-2009
:vomit:
Another silver car....except worse because they forgot to put clear coat on it...
Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - JustinG - 10-06-2009
im a huge fan of Matte finishes, and this is definitely a sexy look

Looks like someone painted it with a couple cans of Krylon.
Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - Madden - 10-06-2009
i love that color, mercedes has something similar. if i was to ever do a full repaint on a car that would be the color

Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - Goodspeed - 10-11-2009
^ Ack, I hate hate haaaaaate aftermarket wheels on FGTs. I've rambled on about how C6 'Vettes simply cannot take other-than-factory wheels, and except for like 2-3 non OEM wheels, Cobras as well. But the FGT is my ultimate un-molestable car. Its like putting dubs on a Le Mans GT40.
Thoughts on this? Its grown on me a lot lately. Perhaps pretty isn't the word, but its strangely beautiful to me.

Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - ScottyB - 10-11-2009
i think it looks more cool than beautiful. definitely like the red better, too.

ScottyB Wrote:i think it looks more cool than beautiful.
True. I think, for me, its an excellent combination of being unique but not shouty; I'm a sucker for understatement/subtlety. At least with the doors closed, and without the ginormous emblem, its a gentleman's GT with a loooong hood. Do want.
Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - Jake - 10-11-2009
Cool, love the bigass logo and mouth, definitely better in red. I'm a huge fan of the long nose, short cockpit design - shooting brake, I guess?

You didn't catch the Gurney bubble, did ya?

I saw that and figured the owner must be a giant. What's the story?
Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - JustinG - 10-12-2009
people sometimes do the Gurney bubble for cosmetic reasons not just so they fit.

The guy that previously owned that particular GT was a Mod on the FGT Forums. He was a BIG guy (round and tall) so he had the bubble installed for track days when wearing a helmet for hours on end would put a kink in his neck as it was a tight fit for him even without the helmet. He passed away within the last couple months and his car has since been put up for sale by his family.
