The car is sitting on a set of CCW LM20′s with 18×9.5 up front and 18×11 in the rear. Fronts are wrapped in 235/40 at the moment, but clearly at the time the shoot was done he was running the 245/40′s, and Toyo R888 265/35s in the rear, shaved and heat cycled! You’ll also see him sporting a set of Goodyears in the back, in 275/40 to be exact. For suspension, Colt went with the Pedders XA adjustable coilovers. The rear springs were swapped for eibach ers 10k rates. Even with the suspension on full stiff it squats so hard that it rubs the Goodyear off the sidewall and fries the tires off it past 50mph, unless it has an R compound tire on it. As a matter of fact, the tires get worn out so often that he has gone through 3 sets of tires within the last 4 months alone. Check out this short video below to get an idea of what this thing sounds like. Crank the speakers up and hit Read more!
BLACKlist v2 on Vimeo Beastly, isn’t it? On the exterior Colt swapped a whole bunch of things from the Australian Holden Monaro, such as the bumper, lights, grill & the Vauxhall badges. You can check out a whole build thread on our forums by clicking this link, and if a full modification list (pages and pages) interests you, you can view that by clicking here. We’ll let the picture below speak for itself.
The whole interior was also stripped and repainted from silver to black. Custom hand machined steering wheel hub, Recaro leather pole position out of a Porsche & Nardi deep corn suede steering wheel are just a few other things that were changed. As with other stuff on this car, the mod list is so long, it’s unbelievable so instead of making you scroll and scroll through them here, you can get all that on our forum, by clicking this link. Well, it’s 12AM here, and it’s time to wrap this up. This was definitely one of the most different cars we’ve ever featured, so we would love to hear your opinion.

Daily driven car. Puts down 472whp/459wtq (before adding water pump, new plugs, and 160 tstat), should do close to 500 with more timing now, and prolly right at 530whp/500wtq when heads go on it hopefully and will sit just shy of 700whp on spray. 140 traps or bust!
