i was hoping to keep my new mod a secret until the next meet, but now that it is out there, what do you guys think?

i am guessing it will shave at least 2 seconds off my lap times on the cart track.

there is no cure for lambo fever - when you have it, you must feed it with more lambo doors.

Tvall13, I saw your car up at Baierl on Friday. And GT420's and someone else's who didn't have a tranny in it. Mine was there all weekend. Dan was supposed to drop his off today, and Dave is going to get a clutch installed tomorrow. Mike wasn't kidding when he said he was sleeping in a tent in the garage. Lol.

Mine is there as well - dropped it off today.

but its going to a body shop for paint warranty - so mike still hasn't touched my car.

wonder who drove it to the body shop noticed they cant go over 4k rpms without hitting the rev limiter (i love valet mode) - - and if they tried wonder if they would say?

That's funny as hell. You got a point there. I wouldn't care what Mike did in my car, but chances are he wasn't the one driving it to the body shop.

Usually what I do is just turn the boost controller off. 12 psi feels like a Civic. But I don't really care lately. Everyone that's worked on my car in the past month has driven much faster cars than mine. Hell, my evo at 24 psi probably felt like a Civic to Shepherd compared to his 8 sec Talon.

By the way, what kind of paint warranty work?
