I am looking for an 8 point weld one, but they are like $1200 + and dont have that kinda dough just to be "allowed" to race at the track... But would love it to just be safer.
that one was an autopower bolt in 6 point.

wouldn't be the safest option for a fast drag car or a hill climb car, but it would be legal for hill climbing. not sure about NHRA rules though.

A lot of you guys already know, but for those of you who don't, I did the impossible yesterday. I traded in my Apex Silver VIII... I traded it for an Apex Silver X. It was a very emotional day for me as my VIII meant a lot to me. I was very sad to see it go, but at the same time I was excited to have a reliable performance car once again! It just seemed like my VIII became a money pit. I do have a bunch of parts for sale. I'll post up a list as soon as I go through everything. Hopefully I'll get some pics of the new ride as well.

Congrats! Where did you get the X at? Options? I know you said you wanted to keep around the same payment - hopefully they were able to do that for ya!

Thanks guys! Justin tried to explain how to post pics, but I forgot.

I got one with the SSS and Aero packages. All of the X's at Baierl had both packages except for one. I actually was interested in the base one until I saw how much better I thought the aero package looked.

That's a darn good idea. I should have taken side by side pics. I think I'm the third X guy around.

Sweet, hope you enjoy the new car - its always fun having a new car

Just remember if you leave them stock they don't turn into money pits as easy!

sight sound and spoiler, yeah.

"HID headlamps • large rear spoiler • the Rockford Fosgate® 650-watt (max.) Performance Sound System with 10-in. subwoofer, plus a 6-CD changer with MP3 capability • SIRIUS® Satellite Radio with prepaid six-month subscription • FAST Key™ entry and start system."

are they not making any with sun roofs period? or will that be coming along later in the production?

got a question for you guys. i got out of my car just now a noticed a strange noise. it doesn't 'sound bad' (not really metalic, and it's not all that loud), i think it may be clutch chatter from how well i treated it last weekend. i don't have an audio clip, but my best description, it sounds like a helicopter that is kinda far away. not very audible, but still has that chopchopchopchop.... to it. words of assurance would help.
