i stopped at audi in latham this year, talked to the guy who was driving it and he clearly remembered the first day they got it for the customer that ordered it, and he almost got fired for allowing the guy to rip down 378. his name is travis i have his business card, can get you his number if you’d like.

/agree on the Chi Turbo part. I went over yesteday and took a couple pics…will probably upload them in this thread later on so everyone can get a look.

On a side note I thought EJ257FTW having pink wheels was some joke until I just saw his sig. Wow man that’s a bold look on an STI but I’ll give you props for being original even if it looks a little :gay

Anyways back on topic…Saw a kid in a Blue RSX type S with a CF hood full body kit on Route 9 by the BK in Clifton Park.

Had the chance to “try” and hang with a new black G37 coupe with 20" Chrome wheels with a gunmetal lip to them, also had CT plates. Saw the dude on I-87 near the twin bridges last night and flew past him, sure enough I look in my rear view and there he was riding my ass. We played cat and mouse back and forth for a while but ultimately ended up slowing things down a bit and ran from a roll and the car toasted my X. I had a couple people in the car as well so that might have been the reason but I was surprised with how good the exhaust note sounded as well as how surprisingly quick the new G37 is.

+1 on the new G37’s. There is a guy that comes into my work with a new bone stock G37S, its white. and everytime he leaves i open the door just so i can listen. Amazing sounding exhaust.

Only thing I hated about my G35 was that it was really slow, also the tranny felt sluggish.
