What are our customers going to think when they come in to buy a kitchen and see a GT-R and 370z?

True but then again, my dad takes almost every customer out for a drive when they buy a kitchen

I am just saying... I get different responses from customers. I have one customer who rags me because I wont buy an American Car... Its all in the eye of the beholder... going to my corporate customers they really dont care... but I do a lot of business with blue collar companies and they do care what I drive...

I would love to have that subie for a winter car. Perfect world for me = Z for the nice days and when I just want to enjoy the car, a nice STI for every other day!

I would love to have a scooby as a daily driver but ending up buying a Xterra because of my 4 legged fur baby

Here is a picture of the PROTOTYPE manifold:

FYI, this is NOT a production piece. The production piece will be made of ALUMINUM. This plastic piece is for test fitting and hopefully bona fide testing as well.

looks like it's coming along awesome Sam, and Bullit son you should have bought a camaro SS because in the blue collar world instead of getting the whole foreign, import scene, FF bulshiz you get the "he's one of us" from them. It says professional, goes to the bars, and a tad stupid... perfect camouflage.

I will not buy a camaro until they fix the Quality issues... i.e. I shouldnt be able to put a dent in the dash just by pressing down on it with my hand! it should also have a nav option and real leather... just my thoughts on it.

Maybe if you get off the juice, you won't break everything you touch!

Mike, are you planning to keep your DD Subie stock, or are you going to do anything with that as well? Can we expect a Subie build thread from you?

Will Sam have hands on with this project as well, or will that be a build in a different shop, or your driveway?
