Car is pretty awesome although personally I prefer turbo over supercharging. From a streetable aspect, SC makes more sense though. Function over form, makes perfect sense having proper ducting for coolers up front but that front bumper is hideous. Sometimes I have to question Stillen cosmetic styling.

On a side note, I see Matt Farah out on a regular basis since he frequents the same bar as I. I always know he's there before I get there since typically I see a manufacturer tagged car out front.

Pretty sure the main point of the video wasn't about how the car looks..

That Stillen Z sounds great. I like the exhaust tone on it. Yea, the offsets are not the greatest, and yea there are better looking front bumpers, but all in all, it's clean, not overdone and has good reliable, usable power under the hood.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys!

Yea, the wheels are not ideal. Unfortunately we were coming down to the wire on the build timeline and the correct wheels were going to be two weeks late so we had to go with a skinnier wheel. It's actually only 8.5 on front and 9.5 on rear if memory serves me correctly.
