Is there anyone that would be so kind in making a video of both stock cars?

Agreed, but only after the acquisition of a GT2
OT: Anybody know the # of 360 CSs in the US? A friend and I were curious... Am I at least correct in thinking they are less common than GT3?

Reminds me of this video with the F40 vs GT2. Obviously different outcome.

Not sure about the huge difference in power gain with just exhaust mod. Maybe 5-10hp at the most. However, after I installed the EuropipeII onto my stock GT2 the major difference noticed was in earlier boost response and longer it sustained through gears/rpm. Which may resulted in wider power band with a little peak power increased.
BTW, does anyone know for sure that this GT2 is modified and the F430 is stock, or are we just assumed so.

Plus, a stock GT2 would never pull away from an F430 like that. Stock vs. stock, it would be VERY close.
