I was very fortunate to have a photographer contact me and offer to do a few free photo shoot sessions. He is submitting the photos to a few magazines, so I can't post his pics until they run in a magazine (assuming they take them). We did 2 different sessions at 4 different locations. Some of the pictures look great. We also did rig shots at 2 of the locations. I can't wait to see how the turned out. Here are some pics that I quickly snapped myself on my point and shoot Cannon. I am no photographer and didn't even change any settings on my camera or edit the pictures. I just wanted a few to share until I can post the photographers. So these are just a teaser:

verdict.

One of my fav roadsters. Looking good!

Thanks! Hoping to keep moving forward with the build. Adding hood shocks, rear diff brace, and new transmission soon. Any other suggestions are appreciated as well.

Looks good man, Very clean looking. Those tires are thick, but they sure do look good.

dayum, I love those wheels! Z looks awesome! Why a convertible though? Wouldn't the TT be put to better use on a coupe?

Thanks for the look and comments.

Thanks! The rears are 295's. I need them for the track, but even with 295 DR's, I will spin on my launch.

Thanks. The wheels are Forgestar F14F's. I decided not to go with a lip. These fit the look i was going for, I think. I wanted to do something different. A lot of TT coupes out there. Not a lot of TT Roadsters. Also, it is freakin' fun and awesome to drive it. I live in Arizona, so it's top down almost all year round!

I was tired when I replied last night. I thought I'd add to my response a bit on the roadster. It actually IS a pain at the track. They won't let you run faster than 13.5 in the 1/4 without a full cage. Since I don't have a cage, I usually get 1 run and then I get booted. It really sucks and means I don't get as much experience and I have to live with whatever happens on my first run until the next track day. Everyone is shocked at how fast it is, though. it's nice to see everyone's reaction when you get kicked.

I appreciate all of the compliments. It's nice after 3 years and more money than you'd believe have been spent. Add to that the issues, challenges, and scams (SGP Racing), and you'll understand why it is so satisfying to finally have a chance to show it.

In its current stage, the car has won 1st place in all 3 shows it has entered! I'm pretty stoked about that! Now I just need to get the transmission replaced, get some good video, and get a high boost 1/4 run (or 10).
