I definitely want to boost it. Kits are like 7grand, so I'm waiting on that one.

Why the F would you want to boost it? You've got a reliable 380-400whp car! Upgrade the brakes/suspension and smacks some pe-pes down on the track.

Brakes and suspension will definitely be on the list as soon as I get a set of rims. Boost is way later down the road, probably closer to the warranty expiring around 75k miles.

Okay...by 75K you will most likely be used to the car and need more power.

OK...got bit by the hp bug. Just ordered a Steeda CAI, tuner and Boss intake manifold. This will be a huge jump from stock. Up to 60whp in the upper rpms.
I really like this car. It surprised me quite a bit. Didn't know it would be this nice inside, and didn't know they were making this power and had 6 speeds now.

Hey you have the original of this image? Do you shoot in RAW or what format do you shoot? I really like this one and would like to fiddle around with it a little!

oh... well you should shoot in RAW when you use your D70 (I believe that is what you said you have). Then when you get a professional program such as Lightroom, you will have a lot of flexibility with your photos to do your post processing work! Though that phone image came out really nice!

Those 2012 GTs have a nice motor. The Boss have a beast of an engine too.
