For my first photo, I decided to do the obvious and post a picture I did of my black 3rd Gen SHO with black Speedline 5 spokes and wing. Picture taken at Beacon Hill. What do you think of it?

Here’s a new feature, I'm going to do every so often in my gallery:
Where I buy a used car take before pictures then wash it put on wheels and in some cases also a wing and then take an after pictures of it. Then I’m going to do to base line the car using three things burnout test, drift test and the 3 performance tests and post the results. Then ill upgrade it and then test it again. Ill take actions shots of the after performance tests and if its worth it the before. Ill also keep a tally of what I have spent.

-Performance Tests after oil change
-Needed oil change though but I don’t think it would have affected the results

Drift: even with handbrake couldn’t get much out of it (not worth pictures)
Burnout: even redlining with brake on and hen letting go of the brake didn’t do anything
