Did some mods on my GT2

Just picked up a used 08'GT2 about 2 weeks ago. Came from a 09'C2S which I modded and was very quick compared to stock but damn this gt2 is quite special. The handling and ride feel makes the non gt cars seem like a lexus in comparison ( I know I am exagerating a little), but a big difference. The speed is of course on a whole new level. I planned on keeping it stock for at least a few months to get a base line feel for its performance then I made the mistake of just calling around to get opinions and prices for mods.
So yesterday I had RSS in costa mesa ( great and professional guys) do EVOMS tune, 200cell sport cats, and brv's. The power difference was much more then expected and the aggressive sound under load is a great. The brv's also add a cool sound as they release the boost. Cant wait to get more seat time.
So Mike at RSS says to me as I drive off back to San Diego, "the reprogrammed ecu needs to learn your driving style so do not be afraid to floor it a lot, and by the way do not get any tickets".
Everytime I floored it I found myself doing triple digits and then slamming on the brakes so I dont get handcuffed.

Yeah, I love how some of the small mods really waken up these turbo cars

Enjoy!

Nice meeting you yesterday zzzspeed, thanks for taking the drive up from San Diego and glad to hear you are enjoying your rocket ship. Handcuffs are a fun accessory on occasion... -Bryan

It was great meeting you Bryan, you guys know your stuff and have a great operation...it was a pleasure doing business with you.

The car doesn't just feel like it was woken up, it feels as if someone threw a bucket of ice water on it and it jumped to attention.

I have very similar mods to what you have, and I put 560hp to the wheels on a day when it was 112 degrees with high humidity :-)

Hands down best Pcar I have owned!!

Been very tempting. Actually got pulled over for speeding yesterday but the cop was to far back to see how fast I was going, he could just tell that I accelerated hard and it was loud. But I got away with a warning, he tried to get me to admit guilt but I have been very educated with all the traffic schools I have attended
