Thanks Stuart. I don't know about the others but I can now appreciate those wheels much better!
It probably would look even better if the car's color was closer to those of the wheels, like in the lambo pic.

I agree - I think this wheel lends itself to some interesting color combinations. Would love to see some on a white Vantage with a couple of white accents, and I also think that a wheel with lighter colored spokes and with the beveled edges inside the spokes painted darker matt colors might look really cool - would really emphasize the shape of the spokes and make them even more defined.

Do you have the car back? What are the dyno numbers?
How much was the S/C kit?

Not yet...I should have dyno numbers today. The kit is on and it was getting tuned this weekend. I've been promised that I'll have the car back next Tuesday. The install has taken longer than expected, but it will be worth it to make sure everything works perfectly before I take delivery.

OK got the prelim dyno numbers...451rwhp with 4.5 psi. That seems to put it around 563 hp at the crank. Stock dyno showed 307 rwhp. I should have a dyno graph later today and I'll post it when I get it.

Great number, but it's hard to believe you'd get a 50% increase with only 4.5 psi.

Just call me sceptical.

Was this on the same dyno?

Yeah same dyno and similar conditions. It's in line with what they got from previous cars, so not too surprising. RMRMD got 431 rwhp with 4.5 psi. The only thing I did differently is to add the RSC/Paramount software and the ESX clutch upgrade which apparently helped. And the car was dyno tuned (as they all are) after the kit was put on, so I'm sure that opened up some untapped hp over stock.

That's awesome. Congrats! Any idea of when you'll get your car back? Would love to hear your impressions.

I'm getting it back next Tuesday, barring any unexpected glitches. Still waiting on HRE to get the wheels done.

These numbers are great. I think there was one online info sheet about ESX supervantage 0-60 and 1/4 mile numbers. Did anyone with this system try to produce those time and got an update?

Mr Tahoe,

You were not kidding when you said that you will go for a SC... Nice numbers as well. Can't wait to hear more about the driving experience.
