Just talked to Brian over at STM and he told me to check out this thread... well worth the read!
Looking forward to seeing it out at the Shootout, and hoping for some stiff competition in the Max Effort class, can't wait to see how things stack up there.

I don't think the ricer is a RS, I believe it's a GSR!

So I got to drive it. It's pretty baller. I want to post a million pictures soooo bad, but I need to wait till after the shootout!! Come and see it!!

As far as drive-ability... It's awesome. Absolutely amazing. I love the Buschur motor on E85. There is really no other way to do it. Just makes a 4G63 sound right. The titanium exhaust is smooth and deep, and respectably quiet, given the circumstances

The engine bay, and overall install/appearance is flawless. These STM guys did such an awesome job. I cant even thank them enough. It is so... right.

The turbo is completely different than anything I've ever experienced. It's comparable to a Red, feels like the RS did, and I drove that not long ago... but the SOUND! It sounds like a pissed off viper ready to attack! It's very snake-like hissing, angry, i'm-gonna-kick-your-***-if-you-come-at-me kinda sound.

I like it

The trunk is all packed up, the Ricer will be full of ladies, and we are off!!!

See you there!!
