She now is probably more aftermarket than OEM, and it’s continuing. I’m putting as much into her at Jennetty as I paid for her in 2016, but we’re hoping to see 750-ish horsepower at the rear wheels. I have a bunch of cosmetic and other parts sitting here at the house. New shifter, spoiler, detachable steering wheel, etc…. I have a list of mods for the next round: roll bar or cage, racing seats, rear seat delete, and more. I plan on keeping this car until I die. I’m 51 and this is my hobby. My 36 year old wife just bought her toy last summer when she got a 2022 John Cooper Works Clubman. We both have daily drivers. I tell her it’s a better way to spend my money then on hookers & blow! Have fun and enjoy life. You only get one shot at it.


This is soooo true, and how I see it!! Well said!!

Nice choice in the stall upgrade. You will like that and you WILL notice the difference. I went from a 3200 to the 4200-4500, and wow!! What an awesome difference in the "off the line" quickness, AND also from a 45mph roll, it really gets the job done, in a hurry!!
