Cool, definitely would be a good time!

Looks like you're at the stock ride height, not dropped or lowered? What brand/kind of tires do you have and how did those perform on the track?

Not track related, but does the car attract much attention over there where you are? The 06-07 SSs aren't a common sight in the States so I can imagine how rare it is to see one in Germany (or Europe in general). People have to be curious at the least.

Outside of some cosmetic changes here and there and the Hankook all season tires, everything is as I bought it. Which means its all essentially stock. The car surprisingly handled better than I expected it would, anytime my back tires would slip out, the engine has more than enough power to pull it straight out of trouble.

The only real problem I had with the stock loadout was the brakes. The calipers were literally smoking after 2 laps on the Green Hell. I needed new brake pads anyways. ��


Does the car grab attention? well, I actually took the girl to England back in February, and, likely because they are more outgoing than Germans typically are, actually stopped me in my tracks a few times to ask what the hell my car was, or simply take pictures. it felt like my car was 10x more valuable there.
So yeah, it turns a lot of heads wherever I go.
