Wow, it looks great. Only thing that I would change are those red seat covers.

Hey, tell us about the supercharger... what did it cost, how much HP gain did you get off the wheels (dyno results would be great!) and on a scale of 1-10, can you feel the difference in power on both the low, mid and high speed ranges?

Love your mods. I'm betting you do not have a wife and kids, right?

ha ha...i occassionally get grief for the seat covers but i've become fond of the red. they mostly serve a functional purpose for me in the hot and humid chicago summers. i find that i don't sweat as much with them there as opposed to the black leather.

the supercharger is courtesy of turbo performance center in maryland. it was about $6k for the supercharger plus installation and gave me close to 50% more horses and torque over the stock. i'd say it's about an 8.5 overall (higher on low and mid, lower on high speed ranges). it's nice to have but i rarely get to stretch it now that i live in the city. i can tell you that i whip my friend's c4.

no kids but i do have a wife. but the car came b4 the wife and also would be the last to go...

thanks for the comments.

Nice looking car.

Why does the rear diffuser look like it's falling off though? Other than that (and the seat covers ), car looks mean. Dig the 986 badge on the back. Nice touch.

BTW, do you have a digital camera that can take short movies? I'd like to hear what that B&B Triflo sounds like.

good eye on the diffuser, lux. unfortunately, the mean city streets of chicago have taken a toll on the bottoms of my front and rear ends. there have been a few occassions where i've literally stopped traffic behind me because i was too afraid to proceed past an armageddon pothole. needless to say i've had the front bumper and diffuser repainted a couple of times. the diffuser is secure but needs to be reconnected at the front. with the old lady calling the shots now it's more difficult to get it fixed immediately.

i'll post a video of the triflo when i get a chance...probably later this week. the exhaust note is my favorite part of the car.

your car in your signature looks awesome and sinister. may i see more pictures of it (i.e. rear, interior, other mods)?

thanks for your comments. take it easy.
