That's true. Can't we just drop 5-6k on a FRPP supercharger, get it dealer-installed, then get full warranty??? So why bother with a Shelby... lol

Your Volks looked hot. Which were those??? CE37?



Steve, nice review! In your opinion though, are the stock pads/rotors good enough? I would imagine, what makes the Brembo kit on our cars truly "Brembos" are the pads and calipers themselves? In other words, if I were to get replacement oem pads or calipers, would they be Brembo parts?

I do like the look of slotted tho. So you replaced both pads/rotors at 21k eh?
