Took the TA out and snapped a few pictures

[FLATOUT]

And this was my favorite :) Still breaking the car in but put another 60 or so miles on it, and its just such a great car. Loving it!

Beautiful!!! I couldn't go back to my Gen 3 cars after 860 miles on my Gen 5

[viperr]

The photo reminds me so much of the first GTS profile photos in 96. The Gen V is such a great improvement and the lines will never tire me. Congratulations on such an awesome car!

I agree 100%. Such a great profile.

[Bruce H.]

Classic proportions and color that will never get old, and likely become more appealing with age. Beautiful!

[Torquemonster06]

Very Beautiful shot. Im just curious as to what mods you've got planned for it ????

[Boba Fett]

great pic!

[sambo32]

No matter what color TA or any GEN V, they all look like art.

[ACRucrazy]

Great shot of a great car!

Similar, build to my gen 4. I'd like to port the heads on this car at some point.

[BlknBlu]

i quit, that is so awesome.

[St.Char]

Great looking pic...do you plan on leaving the calipers black?

[Policy Limits]

Awesome stance on that thing.

[Track Pack]

Bad to the bone!

[DreadLox]

2 things..... One: that thing is sick! As much as I liked the orange TA, when I saw the black it took the cake! I love the black, and I look forward to more pics later
Two: how is it so far compared to your Gen IV? I know you haven't had it long, so if it take a couple thousand more miles for you to get a good comparison.. I'm patient lol.
Btw, idk if I said it before but CONGRATS! Gonna miss your input On the Gen IV page

[Nine Ball]

Great photo!

[Slithr]

As others have said great shot. We should do an 'Andy' history photo shoot, ours a red Gen III vert, similar to your first, Paul's your last B/W Gen IV ACR, and the new one :D

[Shooter]

Wow. Car looks good dude.

[LonghornTX]

I love the Black with orange decals and lettering on the calipers

[Indy]

What a beauty! Now go and drive it for another 60 miles :)

[cashcorn]

Outstanding! I'm only at 98 miles, but to many crazies on the road this weekend in so-cal.

[FLATOUT]

Thanks everyone for the responses. Always appreciate the feedback, good or bad. I just got back from another 60 mile or so cruise, and this time I got to push it through the National forest that I have run in my ACR many times. I will say that so far, the TA is more confidence inspiring. I think mostly because of the springs. Since the car doesn't make nearly as much down force they can get away with friendlier spring rates. The car doesn't come unsprung nearly as easily in the track setting. So I guess I personally feel more in control of the car.

The ACRX brakes on the TA are the biggest immediate improvement that I notice. Love these brakes! The interior refinements are outstanding althought not necessary to discuss when talking about the performance differences between the two cars.

They both have their own niche and they are both incredible platforms, I can't say anything bad about either car. I will get my TA on track next Sunday so I should really be able to tell the difference next weekend and I will do a more detailed write up.

Paul drove up today in my old/his new ACR , it was really cool to see him in that car carving up the back roads with me this morning.

I was definitely impressed by the brakes on your car. I'm going to have to get some ACRX brakes for sure now. :)

Wish you could have been out this morning. I was pushing it maybe 6/10's of what Eric, you and I usually do and their faces were white at the first stop lol.

[FLATOUT]

Great photo!

We need to shoot the black and white cars together at some point.

[MtnBiker]

Did he make you drive it also??? He made me drive it yesterday after I told him no at least 5 times. The car is very, very good.

No, I went over to check it out on the lift Wed night. I was impressed by the rotors on the car. I'll get Andy to give me a ride when I get back in a couple of weeks.

[orlanderlv]

Awesome car. Love the color on that TA.

[TooBlue]

It's been a fun couple of days :D. I am doing the SRT Track experience next weekend so trying to get it fully broken in and oil change before next Sunday.

[FLATOUT]

He'll make you drive it also. Just watch out for the itchyness that might occur afterwards.... :D

lol. While I agree that T/A's are a badass car, to me, they do not surpass the badassness that is my ACR. :)

[MtnBiker]

Andy, I checked the MSR website. They show this is tomorrow? $500 to drive? $100 to spectate? Seriously, or perhaps I am not reading it correctly.

[V1P3R]

I always said that I would never own another black car, but DAMN! Really making me second guess that!

[City]

Flatout,
Not sure why you'd want to post such a pic. Your siding looks like crap!

Though the GEN5 is exceptional. ;)
