I'll be there in spirit. My heart is in South Beach, even if I'm physically in the Northeast.

Enjoy - I look forward to the pictures.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

Call me if you get lost.

It's basically the roof parking garage where you would park if you were going to the AMC or the Bloomingdales.

Maybe I can lobby after we are all there to find a way out of the scorching sun, maybe next to top floor of garage

Good move being in the shade. However we lost the photo ops!

Thanks for coming everyone. Was a great meet. Please share your photos here.

My takeaways from today's meet up:
1) Primetime1's car is just off the charts. Anybody who says a turbo car is too quiet has no idea. He was running downpipes, with a custom Active Autowerkes exhaust. Best exhaust setup I've heard. It was ridiculous driving alongside him.
2) Dark Bronze Strasse wheels look fantastic. I think these wheels would really pop on a gray car too.
3) The E-Race and the E-Sport with the Eisenmann resonator-delete X-Pipe are very similar at high rpms, but at low rpms, the E-Race has a low rumble the Sport misses. I suspect that adding the exhaustmeister valve control will make them very very similar with valves open at all rpms.
4) The 2014 LCI looks fantastic - esp the grille and the LED lights.
5) Lifesgud2's Vorsteiner wheels are simply gorgeous.
6) I think I am obsessed with Avlnch's Frozen Black/Amaro Brown beast. That car is just ridiculously sharp - especially with the factory black chrome grille, side grilles and door handles. I wish I had photos of this to share but it was parked indoors and not ideal for a photoshoot.
7) ///M Kids LI setup is bulletproof.

Bunch of other things I'm missing I'm sure.

Here are some pics we took of Primetime1s M5 with my m5 at the Miami Beach Marina before driving up.

Nine meeting everyone!

Special thanks to stealth for testing my LIs.

avlnch · 09-02-2013, 01:06 PM

Yeah I only took 1 as a few of us were heading north after the meet.

It was a great meet though. A lot of questions answered by hearing those two E exhaust setups and testing the LI setup. Helpful to see these setups in person. I can finally make a good educated decision on what I will do next in regards to the LI and STI+.

Thanks @stealth.pilot and @///MKid

It was great meeting most of you and I do apologize for getting there late. 3 parking garages 5/6 floors per garage later I finally found you guys LOL!

I'm definitely looking forward to the next one!
