The Audio would go out the door in favour of something far more tasteful. I like the wheels, but I also have some very nice Mille Miglias sitting around that would look good on the car.

The rear wing I do not like so much.

Oh and I don't think that screen on top of the dash is a TV screen, I believe its the boost control or fuel management or something.

wrong fuel management system. the better one is the apex power fc with commander.

fancy boost controller with some fuel enrichment, but no ignition map retardation, no monitoring of motor functions (boost, water temp, knock, etc.)

go to www.apexi.com and read all about it

the car setup the way it is, is a "profiler's" car, iow the current owner likes the "show" but doesn't know much about the "go"...

probably parked the car at the drag strip staging area, and watched the hotties walk around the car

your money and your future...choose wisely, "counselor"

The problem is that this is a far more emotional decision than a rational one. If I was being rational I would never even consider it. However, I used to own a Stealth Twin Turbo and have been driving crappy cars for a couple years now. Rather sick of it.

Other than the fact that he isn't getting the best performance he can out of it, would it aleve some of the damage that you were worried about?

speed yellow porsche gt2. look at it...that's what kind of earning potential you'll have in a few years. time goes by fast! when you're really on top of your earnings, you'll be one of those rich porsche club racers with $100,000-club race cars...

i'd wait until then

you'll thank your girlfriend and me tomorrow morning

seriously...i speak from a position of experience...i should have studied harder in school, and pursued a terminal degree like a jd, phd, md, or something.

earning potential is phenomenal. nearly recession-proof if you have an advancd degree from a prominent university...

when i go track club racing, i am the old fart in an old fd rx7 (over 10 years old--build date of april 1992), and my younger pals are sporting new dodge vipers (triple 500 hp/torque/cu inches), z06 vettes, porsche 911 gt2s (that's right gt2)...

you'll be in that league...

study HARD !
