I do not launch the car if i dont have to, or beat the crap out of it... I dont baby it neither and i still put over 300 miles to the tank lol. I think its time for me to buy DD car and do 2.0 built and im set.

Yeah I am wondering what is the compression in the engine. I only have 46k and it has a strong 150-160. Just wondering after 150+ miles how strong will it stay..
