and i got a ride in it! :cool:

this bad boy is owned by Mike Haddad, owner of Haddad Motorsports in Inglewood, CA. Magnusson used the car to prototype the twin screw kit for it. the blower was just put a few days ago. with a VERY conservative tune, it put down about 460 to the wheels iirc. car is already lowered with eibach springs and was taken to borla today to have a prototype exhaust put on it.

car has a 6 speed auto. blower whine wasnt very loud but you could hear it the entire time. exhaust will definitely drown it out. the car rides SOOO smooth for being lowered. it felt like a factory ride, but with a sporty "stiffness" to it.

sorry for the not so great pics. it was night time. ill get better pics next time during the day

good car for the $. an SRT8 charger/300 will cost you $10-15k more. they have a little more power but they also weigh a bit more as well. he said this car weighed in at only $3900, which is what my cobra vert weighs. not bad for a loaded (sans sunroof), big motor sedan.

we're working on a deal to put the first set of wheels on it. the guy also owns a Factory 5 DTM car (DTM? the wannabe GT one) :drool: and more cars too...
