3. New Challenger 6spd, picked it up last week. Tinted, Coilovers and exhaust already on, wheels will be here tomorrow, 440ci motor getting built right now. Motor should dyno 647hp. I know, it's a Dodge, but I kinda like it and yes, I got silver. I have a new 6spd SS RS Camaro(blk) that should be here around mid July. I may do a Magnuson blower to it..

That Ford GT is super awesome. I would trade most eveything I won for that car. But I doubt my big tall ass could fit in it to drive, but it would look good in my garage.

The motor is completely stock. There are good stock to 1000 rwh from the factory. I have a set of 35Rs on it. I run 17.5 psi on 93.

It's coming slow as I have not pushed the guy. I have several buddies that want to buy it, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I sold the Mustang about a month ago to a good buddy of mine. I still get to see it anytime I want. I am trying to get into cars that I will drive and use more. I had the Mustang for 3 years and put 50 miles on it. I have driven it 100 miles since my buddy bought it, makes no sense. I was too worried about getting a chip on it or getting it dirty..

Before her current car my wife drove a couple Mercedes. First time I took one in for service I was very impressed with the service area. As clean and as tidy as could be. But one thing that really caught my attention was some sort of acoustical things hanging from the ceiling to block or absorb sounds between the different service bays. The ceiling had something on it as well.
BTW, beautiful cars. The work on that GT looks absolutely immaculate. And I bet that M5, when finished, could seriously suprise an awful lot of people on the streets.

Thanks, yes the BMW dealer here in Austin is a 1st class operation. Of all my cars, the M5 is my favorite car to drive. I have had it about a year and she has about 6k on her now. I usually get tired of my daily driver in about a year, but I just can't get enough of the M5. It's a kick to drive, fast and the 7 speed SMG trans is unreal. It will hit the tires hard in 3rd gear with 4 people in it! With a extra 130+ hp and 120ft trq, it's going to be hard to beat on the street.

You are one privileged man my friend. I just bought a house and I'm stressing on the new monthly bill and then I stumble across this thread. Man does it hurt.

I will dig some up for you. The '69 left a few months ago. Same reason as the Mustang, just too paranoid to drive it. I sold it to a another good friend of mine here in town so I get to see it and drive it when I want.

I dig all of your toys, but that Ford GT is by far my favorite looking so far. The HRE's match it nicely. Challenger seems to favor larger (22") wheels, due to its extensive body obesity.

Thanks man, what are you going to do to yours? I had one that I ordered in Jan. come in a few weeks ago, but the Dealer screwed me around on it. I am kinda glad though, I did not order the RS package the first time and I really wanted the Xenon lights..I keep going back anf forth about 22's on the Challenger. With 22's you need a really wide rim/tire combo or it looks too narrow..
Thanks again for all the comments.

I cant even imagine how heavy those iforged are?
Can you weigh them for us?
I know a lot of people think HRE's are very exspensive but with the weight difference and the quality difference it s really not much more.

Hey SW -
Long time, no talk.
Your TT GT and Challenger both look incredible. Your cars ALWAYS have the right stance/the right look with suspension and wheel/tire combos.
That GT should be a blast to drive.
For your new Camaro give Brian out at Magnuson a call and get that blower !!
Are you doing your trademark suspension and wheel swap ? Please post pics after you do.
I ordered a Camaro back in October. Got stuck in QC forever. On a railcar right now, heading for FL. Doing a TT on that. Should be a handful.
Take Care SW and enjoy those new projects !! :)
