Forced Induction Smackdown

OWNER BIO:
In this group, Wes had the fewest years of experience under his belt (three), but you wouldn't know it to look at his low 10-second timeslips. When asked where he purchased the Z28, Wes made no bones about the fact that he stole it from his wife and then implanted a nitrous-enhanced ARE 347. The former Marine sergeant works for a consulting firm that is currently under contract with the government. This is how he supports his extremely fast lifestyle.
