Hey guys!
Wanted to get a thread going to document the progress of my new GT! This category of car is a whole new world to me. Been in turbo 4 bangers since 2003 and really wanted to try something different! Absolutely love the lines of the S550 and you sure do get a lot of performance/creature comforts for your money! The aftermarket support is a bit overwhelming for these cars and I'm looking forward to doing my research and modifying this thing to my liking!
