We have been working on a new website for a while. Much thanks to our awesome design guy I think it really turned out killer.

Would love to hear any feedback from you guys. Navigation/layout/content that you think could be improved on or changed?

Thanks in advance!

Contact link is hidden behind the picture vid. Need to slide that up with the other tabs.

Otherwise, very impressive. Heck, just spent over 10 minutes on the site just poking around which is a good sign because I have ADD. :)

If I ever decide to not be a chicken and nix my 100k powertrain warranty on my car, you'll be the one upping the boost on the LS9 and dialing it all in.

edit: one other little tweak is to see if your designer can 'fill the screen' versus have it cropped on the sides. It looks a little better to have it auto-fill. Of course, please know I'm not an IT guy at all, so I don't know what the heck I'm talking about.

I disagree with Quikag, the problem with having sites fill the screen is anyone with a wide screen monitor gets their experience destroyed, I like sites floating center justified like this one!

Very nice site! It is sadly rare to see nice sites for car shops, most people just are not willing to put in the time, effort, and cost.

Few little things I see, without talking to the designer, I wouldn't know if they are issues or just decisions. The bottom canvas looks to be about 8px smaller horizontally than the top content section. As I have clicked through, sometimes the large content boxes don't always load right away, or at all, that could just be a little issue because the site just went up.

One other little thing, if you have a link to your youtube, you can apply the same background and button style to that as well to tie them together.

Other than those, great site!

Rams, have you raced his E55? That thing really runs for a smooth sled.

Very nice site. I like the grunge look! If it were my site, I would make sure that my videos are i friendly. Encoding your vids in the Flash format eliminates 8.25 million iPad viewers and roughly 51.15 million iPhone viewers. How about adding a forum, Ustream Channel and blog? Everything else looks great!

haha, even better. I was his DD on fat tuesday and he told me to drive the merc andy told me not to be easy on it.. and holy hell that thing breaks em loose at 60! its sooo violent for a sedan, and so comfortable too! I wasnt used to the brakes though, that takes some getting used too. Overall, i want one.. The acceleration, stability, and comfort is unbeatable.

ask Mike 99frc kyle bell or andy how the drive to wish went...

Great page refresh rate. Easy to navigate through. Did not see a 'site map', that may be handy for someone who just needs to get where they need to and bypass a number of clicks. Very nice overall.
