That is a beautiful DSG mach Sal. I was never a big fan of those rims, but they look great on the car. I'm not really in love with the Mach's stock rims, I think they look wimpy, but a set of 10.5s in the back in stock finish would look good, and I absolutely love the way 18" chrome Saleens look on a DSG Mach. One of my big irks with getting a Mach is that I love to tinker and customize, and make my cars all out unique. I'd be hesitant to mess with a Mach too much because of it's rarity, I wouldn't want to kill something so special.
My GT however, was originally going to see the FRPP roots blower I already bought @ 9 psi, AFM blower cams, Steeda CAI, Accufab TB, Lightning MAF, SCT custom tune, methanol injection, T56 tranny conversion, aluminum driveshaft, 3.73s, Bilstein shocks and struts, possible coil-over
suspension to replace my
BBK springs, Full length subframes with side exhaust clearance, 4 point roll bar, Steeda upper and
lower control arms, Steeda CC plates, Baer big brakes eradispeed kit all around, a catted prochamber, shorty headers, steeda side exhaust, Razzi side skirts for the exhaust, a V6 rear bumper, Steeda race wing with billet winglets, Steeda cobra R style hood, Mach 1 chin and grill delete, Sequential taillights, clear corner headlights, billet interior upgrades, Recaro racing seats with harnesses, tinted windows, and 17x9 ROH snypers with a custom dark chrome metalight finish (one of a kind customs). All of that would give me a very nice, unique looking car with alot more power, handling, and braking than a Mach 1 (Dez Racing told me around 375ish RWHP with those mods and a good tune). I'd be able to go toy with stock terminators with all that. The cost of doing all that would probably be a bit more than the 5kish it will cost me to move into a Mach 1, but I'd have one kickass car. This is why I'm so torn on the situation. Do I want to make my own badass machine, or buy one? Is the max capability of a 2V really limiting what I want to end up with? I'd be more than happy with something in the 400 RWHP neighborhood, which is where I'll be, and I'll have a car I can be sure no one else is driving...
