Dang brother, she looks killer cool!! I like that color. One of my friends has one in that IOM, and when I see it out in the sun, it looks like a "metallic" orange!! Beautiful.

Thank you. The color definitely has a ton of metallic in it. If you look at an orange crush 6th gen you car really tell the difference all the metallic makes. 13 years ago, March of 13 i ordered this car and am still happy with the choice I made.

Yes sir, great choice!! Not very many around here at all. I hardly ever see any, and when I do, they look like crap because they were never taken care of like we do ours.. Sad..

5th gens definitely get abused and neglected. I usually see v6s. Not a lot of V8s around.

Thanks man. I love it. Its going to be more in a few months. I'm shooting for 1200whp but dont know if my 62/62s will flow enough air to make the power. They'll become a restriction because of how small the compressor wheel is. The 434 I have is absolutely going to tap the turbos out. Will be in the market for some 65/65s or 65/68s eventually.

I went to a car show over the weekend, put my dyno sheet in the dash. Its so funny popping my hood and having everybody look around the engine bay and wondering how my car makes 800whp.

The build thread says it all, you should print that out too! And all that power through the stock TR6060 and rear end... that is awesome, seems like a testament to the robust build of these cars. Your car looks great, nice job on that ceramic detail!

Thank you.

Im not really surprised about the trans but the rear end..... I feel like its on borrowed time. It hasn't given me any issues (knock on wood) but Im surprised. I know if i went to a track and tried to launch the car, i would make that thing a jigsaw puzzle. People have blown up axles and diffs at stock power levels.
