    Nice Ride! Car looks great. Love the color!!!

    One small correction or maybe clarification, this being an 05 - I think you might be a little off on it pushing A LOT more HP than an 06 SE. You are only going to get an addition 40 or so extra HP with the groupM and custom Exhaust. Which puts it pretty close to even... Unless the Group M and Custom Exhaust are giving a lot more than I have heard.

    Don't get me wrong - I put a custom exhaust on my 04 and it gave a little more umph... and better sound, but only about 20hp. I had a larni - so maybe yours gives a whole lot more than mine...

    The Key to the 06 and above (and I also owned an 04 and move to an 07) is not as much the HP as it is the gearing. The shorter gears makes the biggest change in speed and noticable acceleration gains.

    You may be correct I am not sure really sure. I heard it had ECU updates done as well? I know my buddy has an SE and I clearly pulled him the other night on the freeway??? The dyno will tell I will post result once I get her in for a run :)

    Those were actually taken the guy who owned the car at his house. Andrew is his name, a motorcycle Sheriff cop. Really cool dude. I will take some of my own and get them posted up soon

    Gears changed in MY06 not 05 (unless you mean cars built in 05 for Model Year 06)... (One clarification a few of the last MY05 has been reported with the lower ratio's - I have not see any, nor can I validate it). MY06 and 07 were the gear changes to the lower ratios and increased HP, different exhaust and the introduction of the Spyder and SE. 04 and 05 were identical in HP and Gear ratios - with the exception of a few different options available on the 05's. Like titanium colored wheels, front end lift, navigation as an option, etc.

    Mike, congratulations on the new ride. Can you please tell us how does this exhaust sound compare to stock or others? US$11K is a lot of money for an exhaust but I know this is an expensive brand.

    Does the Gruppe M give any intake sound when your floor the accelerator? I've asked GruppeM before & they can't give me an exact Hp gain as no dyno was done before but they claimed about 10-15Bhp increase & I'm worried the K&N cone filters may foul the MAFs.

    All I can say is that the exhaustr sounds CRAZY. It has a switch under the dash to open and close the baffles. Stealth mode, which is like silent running and then with one switch of the button it opens up and sounds like a F-15 on take off! I will try to post a link to you-tube soon of the sound.

    Not sure to HP claims I am just going off what I was told and my experience over my 04 G car I had and my 430 Spider. It feel much faster than both cars. The dyno will tell and I will post results
