THE COVER CAR

14.10 Cover Car

Every once in a while, we stumble across a die-hard enthusiast at a car show, and we know their attitude and ride is a perfect fit for PAS. This 2009 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG Sedan is the pride and joy of Miss Jamie Liu, or perhaps more of a weapon mass destruction at car shows. Liu has extensive experience in the show scene, having owned a widebody Mercedes SL, McLaren SLR, Maybach 62, Ferrari 360, CLS 55, E55, Hummer H1, a BMW 735, a turbocharged S2000 and a Honda Civic that she describes as simply a 鈥渞ace car.鈥 Let us walk you through the hand-picked modifications she鈥檚 made to her Benz.

THE EVENT

005

THE FEATURED MODEL

The gorgeous Jennifer Irene Gonzalez

Voluptuous curves and seductive eyes are what drew us to this half Taiwanese, half Mexican beauty. Born and raised in Redondo, CA and living in Orange County, Jennifer Irene Gonzalez got her big break when she was scouted at cheerleading practice at the age of 17. Not long after, she landed a record distribution deal with SONY BMG records. Jennifer has appeared in several international editions of FHM, the cover of BEER Magazine and many other magazines. She has also been featured on Good Day LA and Telemundo Tu Estillo. With her good looks, talent and get-it attitude, it won鈥檛 be long before you see her zipping by in her new hot-pink Lamborghini.

ON THE BENCH

Garry Springgay and his crew over at Cogent Audio Labs took some of the best car audio gear to trial. For this month鈥檚 issue he tested out the Alpine KTP-445U amp, DD Audio 3500 subs, Illusion Audio Carbon Series C6 speaks and the Audison Voce AV K6 component speaks.

TECH

Our Scion FR-S project car moves along; this issue we spruce up the audio system with an amp and sub upgrade.

Heads up readers, spring is right around the corner; or as we like to call it, show season.
