congrats on the purchase! you are going to love her! i picked mine up out of dallas as well a few years back.

with your mods, you should be right around 450+ hp to the tires. if the car is going to be your DD, then i would advise NOT to get drag radials. if you were to happen to get caught in the rain, or on some wet roads, you would likely end up in a ditch. i have lost count of how many threads/pics i have seen of totaled cobras, from drag radials in the rain.

if the car is NOT going to be your DD, and mainly just for fun....then i'd go drag radials for sure!

Congrats! Beautiful car. IMO DSG is the best, own one myself.

If you are going to be bumpin the hp might want to think about FLSFC and at least a IRS brace. Also to help out with wheel hop visit http://www.fulltiltboogieracing.com/ check out their FT5001 kit. Installing the kit myself as soon as the snow goes away.

Nice choice of car and color, George. But judging by the photos of you washing your new ride, aren't you a bit short for the front seat? LOL!

Seriously, though, congratulations! You picked a great car and a great color. Enjoy it! It looks like your son totally is in agreement with your choice. You'll hopefully have some fun times in the future with him and with your car.

When you get your tune you will definitely see more than 425rwhp. I know you're on 91 octane premium down there so you won't see the same numbers as you would with a 93 octane tune, but you should see right around 445-450. You're going to love the power increase.
