The Veilside 8 is gone...The New Baby is here!!

Alright guys, if you know me, I've been on these forums for over two years now. First with an automatic Silver 2004 RX-8 with a Mazdaspeed front and sides and many more mods.

Next, a year later, was a Black 2004 Mazda RX8 that I ended up custom painting black metallic, with a full d1-gt veilside body kit, borla exhaust, Volk SF Challenge Rims and much much more.

And now, I have something with torque, sheer power, and gas milage that makes sense for the power it makes. However, I will miss my RX-8 and everyone I met and hung out with, and I'll still come on here and talk to you guys. I will you guys with a time line of my RX-8's and finally, what I drive now:

Before :


After:


Black RX-8!

Before:


During :


After:



And NOW!!!!!!!








2002 Corvette Z06
405 HP, 400 tq. This car is a beast! And anyone that knows me probably didn't expect this, but at the end of the day it was the car that made the most sense. Good MPG, fast as hell, handles well, I don't care for four seats, pretty dang good looking. So this is the new beast. Let me know what you think! Love you guys, and I will forever love the RX-8 and hang out at some meets, especially photoshoots

Nice looking car, can't really go wrong with a vette.
Will it be dropped down some in the future?
