You “Punish and Enslave” of course!!!

Now on to my rant. (this is my view and doesn’t reflect the view of vividracing.com or its affiliates)

**SALEEN > your stock V8.

Your car is NOT a transformer.  If you are going to put some tacky  sticker on your car, at least make the car look like the movie car(wheels and maybe the rest of the tacky stickers), not everyone knows that “to punish and enslave” is  from a movie(transformers).  Most people might just think you are a jackass.

This years Gumball 3000 is the 10th anniversary of the world famous rally. Vivid Racing has done 3 of these amazing events and we are attending this years US Leg as well.

To help Gumball 3000 out, we are putting an open call for vehicles to attend the San Fransisco start as well as the Hollywood and San Diego stops. We are looking for 40 vehicles at each stop to be featured as display cars for the thousands of visitors to check out. This is open for all Enthusiasts or Business vehicles. There will be tons of magazine and media press at the events. Including CNN and MTV filming. This is a great way to get some FREE exposure.

Celebrities from Rob Dyrdek, Big Black, Johnny Knoxville and the other JackAss crew, David Hasslehoff and his original KIT car, Travis Barker, and many more! Everything from lowriders, JDM tuner cars, Ferraris, Porsches, Bugatti, Lamborghini, and other cars will be on the amazing Rally.

Looks like C-west has their new Aero Kit for the EVO X ready.  The kit replaces the front and rear bumpers, also the side skirts.  It also looks like C-West made some replacement vents for the hood in carbon.  I think the kit looks pretty good.

And the GT WING II (which is optional)  Vivid Racing is a C-West direct dealer and distributor, please contact us if you like to be the first to get this kit for your EVO X.  And to see all the other available parts for your EVO X CLICK HERE!

Agency Power has a new sound clip for the 02-07 Subaru WRX STI catback exhaust with titanium muffler and 4 inch titanium tip. The sound clip was taken on a 2004 Subaru WRX. This has been a very popular exhaust for its look, weight, performance, and price. Check out the exhaust system on our site here - http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/agency-power-titanium-muffler-catback-exhaust-subaru-wrx-sti-0207-p-13100.html

Agency Power has just released their Subaru WRX exhausts and currently working on the prototype system for the 08 STI. The exhaust is very similar to the WRX wagon exhaust except it has do exhaust exits. Our prototype system features dual 4inch titanium tips. However the production piece will include quad 2.5inch titanium tips similar to our BMW M3 exhaust. We expect this available for sale in early September. Contact us for more information.
