    Side Exhaust

    How would those work with subframes though? I've got a pair of TCPs and they go pretty low.

    What would I need to do to get this sound?

    Bingo http://www.germancarfans.com/news.cfm/newsid/2031121.001/mclaren/1.html That explains it all. Really interesting read anyways as it goes through the whole design ideology. Since most of you are lazy, I'll cut to the chase: "The SLR exhaust system features four catalytic converters...

    What would I need to do to get this sound?

    I'm not going for pure straight line; I like the protouring style. I figure I'll need at least a supercharger, fuel injection and probably side pipes with an x-pipe. The only thing is that I don't think there'd be enough room up front for the side pipes to exit right behind the front wheels...

    What would I need to do to get this sound?

    My Stang. Just curious what it would take. It's a double side exhaust car and that's about all I know. This sound isn't limited to the SLR though, check this out: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1025002690700603120&q=top+gear This too is a side exhaust car.

    What would I need to do to get this sound?

    I love the way this car sounds and am wondering what mods would be necessary to get the same sound, if it is at all possible. Watch this video to see what I'm talking about: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=968324305532525154&q=slr I know I'll need a supercharger, obviously but what else?

    The SN65 project car

    Now when you say "sharpen," what exactly do you mean? Did you redo the body work or add to it at all? I'm really curious.

    I'm not going to lie, that's a thing of beauty right there.

    Hot rodders tips for squeezing out max power?

    I'm curious, what are some tricks for getting the most out of your engine? I'm talking about things most people wouldn't think of, like knife edging the crank to reduce friction in the oil pan.

    Sub Frame Connectors

    I went with the TCPs and they're great. They're the weld in kind and are a bit expensive, but the car is significantly stiffer and handles better.

    How hard do you drive when you race?

    Good, I'm not alone. What made me mad was that people were getting pissed at me after it happened. It was bound to happen sooner or later (I just sped it up).

    How hard do you drive when you race?

    I'm at the Naval Academy but I won't join the team until senior year. We completely redesign and rebuild our car every year.

    How hard do you drive when you race?

    I hear you man, but that only applies if you can actually do the work yourself. Paying for labor isn't cheap.

    How hard do you drive when you race?

    I'm curious, when you are doing time trials or are racing, how hard do you drive the car? The reason I ask is that I have a knack for breaking vehicles under these conditions, like tonight. I drove our school's formula car and on the fourth or fifth lap the shifter handle broke in half...

    The SN65 project car

    Actually, I'm thinking that there should be no graphics or trim at all and even go as far as shaving the door handles and smoothing other features. This car will look absolutely amazing the cleaner it is.

    Alignment Shops in MD

    Anyone know of any good alignment shops near Annapolis, MD? I tried asking the Mid Atlantic forum but its dead. I'm lifting my Explorer 2 in so I need to get it realigned afterwards.

    Hey, I need to get my Explorer's front end realigned after I raise it a couple inches. Are there any good alignment shops in the Annapolis area?

    The SN65 project car

    Another thing is, a lot of people have black and there are a lot of high end built Stangs that are black. Yellow is a nice change of pace and adds to the performance image.

    Or the satisfaction of having built and now owning one of the most badass vehicles ever to grace the roads.
