I drove the piss out of it at that point.  went from 390rwhp and 360rwtq:<img src="http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1605/6646527/21731450/360815242.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />to a stout 450rwhp and 450rwtq:<img src="http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1605/6646527/21731450/360815248.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />nothing really changed much with the car for a while becuase i just blew all my money on the last round of upgrades.  i moved into the interior and painted some things silver to add a little more color to the all black interior.  i also bought a daily driver at that point so i didn't have to worry about getting around in this car.</blockquote>
