I like option 1 mainly because of the body style and the color since they both have alot of horsepower and of course the price difference

wow, it must suck to have to make that decision. (...no)

I liked the first one. I'm more partial to the 2005 model, and with only 13k milage difference especially. Also, the wheels & rotors on it look fantastic. I didn't get the same impression from the 07. Was it just me (or the picture), but does the 05 sit a bit higher in the back than the front? I like it.
My overall impression of the two is that this 05 is very much show quality (as in "show off"), and this 07 is a more discrete G equally as qualified to embarrass my stock.
My vote is for the black 05.

I Agree, The Black Wilwoods Look Great With The Wheels On The Black Exterior.

Thanks For Your Input

1st one. I'm pretty sure it's one of the better turbo kits, and also you can use the 8,000 you save to put in better sounds, suspension and nav.

COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE SOUND, THE BOSE IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME, A NAV WOULD BE NICE....THE OTHER $7000 ILL KEEP FOR CAR PAYMENTS

05, but I would change that front bumper. A nismo or Karuma will fit it much better IMO.

Ok so 1000 for a nice nav and back-up camera

By better I mean I'm pretty sure you can push the hp up higher, I'm pretty sure that's the turbo kits some teams have used to push the hp up to the 900's. I am in no way refering to reliablity, I have no idea how that is with either kit. I think the JWT maxes out at around 700 but I'm not sure.

OK, GOTCHA....IM MORE INTO RELIABILITY AT THIS POINT SPECIALLY WITH THESE NUMBERS. 570 RWHP IS PLENTY GOOD FOR ME, ANYMORE ON 2 WHEELS ISNT REALLY A STREET CAR....JMO

I HAD A STAGE 3 S4 AUDI WITH GT28S PUSHING CLOSE TO THESE NUMBERS AND LOVED IT BUT IT WAS AWD OFCOURSE

Who built #1? I saw #2 on a eBay a few months back, and I remember it was a really well built car by forged, nothing was spared. Plus I personally really diggg the "stealth" look. So #2 for me, unless #1 is really well-built too but it doesn't say

I'd go with option one...but I don't like the stillen front...rims are sick though.

Just beware of buying a heavily modded car...somebody elses problems may become yours...

Both cars were built by Forged and Sharif, they each have about $45,000 into them
