First post here.

Don't have a Mustang yet but hoping to factory order a '13 GT 3.31 w/ Brembos and Recaros in the very near future. My current car (2005 Lotus Elise) is a hoot when I'm dodging cones in parking lots, but isn't the most practical DD and the fiberglass bodywork doesn't hold up to abuse very well! Looking forward to thrashing on a 5.0 and enjoying the daily commute too :)

Ask and ye shall receive!

Driving cross-country after buying the car from a fella in Florida. This was somewhere along the Needles Highway in South Dakota:

Competing at a National ProSolo event in Washington:

...and this is what happens when you mix Hoosier rubber, WOT, wheelspin and gravity:

Yeah, another reason I'm getting out of the Lotus - Toyota trannys weren't made to tolerate abuse, and changing a transaxle in your garage is not my idea of a good time!! :)

Thanks! I actually bought them before I even bought the car, lol. I love the black look too - if I was keeping the car, I was going to powedercoat the rear diffuser. Still tossed on what color to go with on the Mustang, but I'll definitely be incorporating black wheels somehow :)

Thanks! It's not looking that great these days - the front clam is being held together with red duct tape, haha. Need to reglass and repaint everything before I even try to sell it. Prospective Lotus buyers are always looking for a way to lowball you on price!
