Thanks E

The car has been fairly reliable. I've had the car for 2.5 years and 16k mi and 400rwhp. The issues I've had with the car have been; like you've heard, I had to replace 2nd gear (due to operator error when I first picked up the car), driver's side exhaust manifold heat shield cracked (very common) and the rear bushings will need to be replaced soon.

My biggest gripe with the car is the gearbox. A safe 1-2 shift is a slow shift. Also, you really cant dump the clutch. Although even with an easy launch and slow 1-2 shift, I still managed a 4.7s 0-60 time. Other than that, I love the car; it's a blast.

 

Yellow Enzo is REDICULOUS!

That looks like a fun event. Nice cars guys.

 

What exhaust has the orange SE from the first video?

 

Are any of these owners forum members?

 

Custom by SP Engineering.

Yes.

 

I just saw some vids of your car racing a gallardo and Z06, what is done to your car modification wise? The car is QUICK! The BOV sounds great too. I can't imagine that you're stock?!

 

Thanks, not stock although at the time at those vids the car was making the same power but a little more tq than stock (340rwhp/345rwtq) due to the water injection not working correctly.

Now the car is at 400rwhp/375rwtq with the following mods: Air filters, Johan's Red/High TQ ECU, 12psi wastegates, boost controllers (at 14psi), water/alc injection, straight exhaust and BOVs.

 

Thanks for being so specific.

 

Haha! Good times and close calls! Gonzalo, your car is quick dude ... hell it held off the raging bull LP640 in the canyon. Great people, beautiful weather without a cloud in the sky, expensive lunch, and ton of fun... we will most definitely do it again, probably June.

 

lol Thanks Justin, def fun times. Let me know.
