Sorry to hear you got a speeding ticket, but you've been adding a lot of nice parts to your great looking GT-500. That track event looked to be fun. In the RAIN yet.

looking good. You should look into a larger heat exchanger next
and few days before
in reality it look great!!!
before (not my car because i forgot to take a picture but it's exactly the same)
and now
Je parle un peu francis. Tres bien! J'aime beaucoup le lettres separees. Tres bon choix!
I'm very "rusty" with my French since I haven't used it much lately.
@ ViciousJay i'll probably do it one day, but not the first thing on my list...first i want to change shock strut and springs, but don't know what to choose, after second choice i'll do a CAI and TUNE (+ or - smaller pulley)
and may be after another exchanger
@ Snagged don't worry about your french, i hope my english is like your french so, the most important is to be understand, and share the same passion : cars!!!

So cool, Jerome. I've been over to France twice, mostly along the south coast between Marseille and the Monaco Principality. It's truly one of the most beautful places in Europe, and the driving roads are insane! Best part is that no matter where you stop, you're going to get some damn good food. I tried to find bad food in France on purpose. I couldn't. Lol.
You just don't see muscle cars much there, and a mean quad cam 5.4 sounds like nothing else around out around that countryside. Most Europeans, and particularly French, hate American muscle cars, lol. Glad to see there are some supporters out there.
