Default Fastest '13 DIB GT on my street... I think

Finally decided to start a thread with the progression of the car along with some random pics of work since that's all I do. As most know I've been contracting in Iraq so I've been trying to knock stuff out in the couple weeks I have home every few months.

'13 GT - Deep Impact Blue - A6 - Premium w/ Brembo's

Bought it in April 2012, went to the track with about 1200 on the clock and ran a best of 8.43.

Just purchased


1st leave home I installed a DSS driveshaft, BMR loop, Lethal O/R X-pipe and a Bama tune. I hit up dyno day at True Street and made 394/391 and then back to the track and only managed 3 passes but ran an 8.07 at 88 with a 1.94 60'.

2nd leave: Installed (all BMR) lca's and brackets, springs, uca, panhard bar, sway bar relo brackets. Purchased a NX plate kit, MSD window switch, and the usual accessories. Removed DSS to have it warrantied due to vibration.




Which leads me to today... Currently have some 15" Weld RT-S' and 275/60 MT's waiting in the garage and will be ordering a Circle D converter in June. Hoping to run 10's on the bottle and mid 11's N/A and that'll probably do it for a while. We have some remodeling to do in the house and I need to do some work to my wife's car to finish it off.

They were shipped to my buddy at Ford who is a little jealous I'm sure!






Lastly, I challenge everyone here to a race... I win, you buy me a beer, you win, I'll buy you a beer.

Ah, forgot the work stuff...

I'm "lucky" enough to spend ALL my time in Iraq, BUT I have been able to see some cool shit, visit the aquarium and tallest building in the world in Dubai, buy some car parts, and most importantly, provide for my family while my wife was in school. Now that she's done, I'm done! Here's some pics, would've had more but I had to replace my old laptop.

3 deployments with the military and 1 as a civilian... I've flown a Texas flag on every one

Burj Khalifa, I probably chopped 20 or so floors off the bottom but it's the best I could do.


View from 144th floor on Burj Khalifa, the taller hotels are about 80-90 stories for perspective


White hotel is 63 stories plus the topper

I wish I would have gotten a picture from the plane, it's the only thing you see from miles out. And that was floor 144 of 163. Fastest elevator I've ever been on too, ears popped 4 times.

Tops out at 22 mph, it didn't take too long. Pretty cool ride though, the elevator goes dark, has a light show type thing and some jungle themed music that gets faster and louder as you near the top.

Haha, it's an auto, all I gotta do is push the gas right?
