    After a first weekend test drive of my car.

    Let me start off by saying that my car is a monster. I thought that it would be crazy with the 3.5, but after the turbo, it's a maniac on the road. As a matter of fact, I can't even keep it on the road. I pick my battles, however and only push it in very rural areas. I would like to get some 0-60 times, but it's difficult because I can't start from a stop without screaching the tires. Even shifting into second on a hard acceleration, I burn rubber for at least 100 feet, so It's difficult. Not only that, but I find it hard to keep the car straight when accelerating. Do you have any pointers on how to get the best possible acceleration without burning 100's of feet of rubber? I'm running about 7-8psi and I have virtually no turbo lag above 3000rpm.

    I will post final pictures soon, I promise.

    I don't have any recommendations for that, but would love for you to strap her down on a dyno and see what numbers shes putting out!

                  Pics are coming soon! I promise guys.
                  I'm running 17x8 with 215/40/17 tires. I know they are not beefy, but i'm not going to track it with those wheels and when I do track it, i'm getting different tires. These are just my show wheels.

                  I know it's a shitty pic, and i'm sorry, but it's all i got for now. I took this pic this weekend.

                    Looking good, turbos are addictive. Soon you'll find yourself intercooling it and uping the boost.
