Default [PICS] FactoryRaceCar in Chicago

Well it was still nice today so I decided to clean her up after the 800 mile drive. Man she cleans up nice.

Uh oh Nouman....You've got your car in the hands a waxer!

Just kidding....I leave that up to the pro's, I'm more of a washer.

(Stupid camera makes the car look orange )

Very nice, very nice car you bought there. You got to take it to the track to see what it runs, Nouman never had a chance to after the work he did last fall. Very nice photo's what brake calipers are on the car? They look great.

Well, if I do take it to the track I'm going to granny shift it to be safe....If I pull off a high 10 and get kicked off the track I'll be happy. Like Nouman, I have the same aspirations for the car he does....To keep it on the street.

Hahaha....I know, I know...Those tires shown were just some all seasons to drive it 800 miles to home....I'm already prepared. These are 295 BFG Drag Radials on the same Z07 rims I bought 3 weeks ago, and I'm getting Nitto NT01's too:

Thanks! I certainly will take very good care and pride in all that Nouman has worked so hard for.

Not only did I get a great car, but I also got a good friend with the car too!

That's a great combo Nouman has been a great friend to me as well. I'm sure he'll want continuous updates on how things are going with the car.... "Separation Anxiety"

Sorry. I don't usually venture into F/I but this is a special occasion I have no doubt that you will make him proud with all you will do with the car. Yes..He is a great friend and TRUST me someday you will find out he is the BEST friend a person can have And I speak from experience

Once again Matt..Good luck, have fun, enjoy her and be careful

Glad to see you're right back on your feet and didn't have a hangover purchase... That appears to have come from a well known shop here in my home town....

Oh trust me, you are compelled to do rebound purchase like that when you realize what you have just lost. In my case, it was actually intentional

I assume you do not like my new ride? Sometimes, you have to do whatever it takes to get your love. If you still want to hang out in the summer, I will show you what that thing can do

It revs up to 11,000 RPMS and make 132fwhp


















I think I have officially lost my mind due to "separation anxiety"

Nice New Whip Nouman! I've heard of sticky white rice, long grain rice, even brown rice, but I've Never seen blue rice!

I'll bet that 132 fwhp includes a hundred horse shot of Naws too huh?

On a more Serious note............Please Be Safe with that Red Rocket of yours Matt!

You thought I was joking when I said "Widebody Twin Turbos"???

When will people start taking me serious?
