I've had so many toys now I've lost track. Here are some pics of my 05 S2000. I custom ground cams for it and had the guy that made the Chevy IRL valve springs make me springs and retainers out of titanium. The engine internals were completely stock except for the cam gears, cams, valvesprings and retainers. It also has double adjustable coilovers with external reserviors, upgraded brakes, etc. Keep in mind it is a 2.2L 4 cylinder. I have also included a dyno graph. The thing sounds like an Atlantic series openwheel race car.

My 2007 TRD Tacoma has been the absolute best vehicle I have ever owned.

Favorite car, 2004 BMW 330i with the ZHP Performance Package. The car would do 150mph in 5th with 4 passengers... so I've heard

Never did put it in 6th, one of the girls got scared.

Traded the BMW for these...

Still miss the BMW... unless it's summer time and we're on the lake!!!

Ya know, my ex had a Miata, and I have to say that car was one of the FUNNEST on-road vehicles I've ever driven. I never took it to a track, and it wasn't winning any stoplight races, but goddamn it was fun to whip in and out of traffic, take 90* turns, etc. I'd love to pick up a 10 year old model and do some upgrades like a turbo, better brakes, and clutch/transmission.
