So Clean
|
Nice projects, seeing the 2 side by side s1 body lines are much cleaner.
|
It's funny because I look at Hoss-05's car and think it looks more aggressive. It needs to be lower though for sure.
|
Sorry Hoss but the S1 takes it, but thats only because of the MS kit.
Clean cars guys, now which one is faster :suspect: |
Mine is for now but that is only because he is still working out bugs and hasn't gotten on the dyno yet. But his turbo is way bigger than mine, proper external wastegate, tubular manifold, etc. so when he is fully situated he should pull bus lengths on me (hopefully).
|
looking good fellas
It amazes me how great the paint looks... |
