I do what I do because it's something to keep my mind off things in life. Even when the car is having problems it still keeps my mind off stuff when things in life aren't going the way you want. Not that that's the problem right now, but when it is it nothing is more relieving as putting in some MS109 and cranking the boost up and timing up... Then just laying some serious power to the ground.

I was the kid who wasn't allowed to have a dirtbike or a motorcycle (even when I turned 18, but lived at home). Though 1000+hp cars don't phase the parentals even though both Lil Powell and I have them. LOL! I guess their idea is 4 wheels is better than 2.

You can flame away, but there's still something to be said for not having to rebuild a 150k ride for ****s and giggles and replace $1600 in rubber to prove something that few care about. I have my ride cause I like it, as is. I'm not trying to rag on anyone for for tuning theirs. Its just that having blown up a couple cars before and done some extreemly costly repairs out of ego, I dont feel the need to do it again.

BTW, there are GXXR Karts out there.

I like karts myself, but what makes our cars special is the Metzger motor, a racing motor that was mass produced.

As such it can handle tremendous hp. It is a waste to leave that hp on the table.

I like carts too and a few of my friends are planning on getting some but there is still a huge difference in the rush that's created by a 800hp 911 vs a powerful lawnmower

I suggest you start a new thread with a poll on who has modded their p-turbo and you will get your answer.

you can tune your car and not track or race the crap out of it. But it is nice to know that when someone pulls along side while your cruising, that they aren't likely to snuff you like they think they might.

Rubadubdub is infamous around these parts

Very nice! The kit looks amazing. And the exhaust note is perfect.

I'd get bored with the power of a stock TTS in about :3 minutes.

I do love taking people for ride in the car when it's on high boost and the good timing. When they get out they have a smile from ear to ear and eyes wide open in shock. Most of them have been in like 400-500hp cars and this just blows them away.
