Hey Matt, that video came out nice but it still doesn't do your car justice. The sounds that come out of ProHP's car turns heads when he drives by... I think the ground shakes a little too.

PS... That's some green grass you got there.

It just takes time to get used to some of the new manurisms. You could put a small cam in your car and never even know its there, then again you could go to a much, much larger cam and notice everything from the way the car shakes side to side at idle to gas mileage. All of this is driveability.

does this help?

Thanx for the info! He must have posted just before I did or something, can't believe I missed that. A couple quick questions... is your car a daily driver? If not, could a 500 - 600 rwhp car be a reliable daily driver? Impressive numbers from your car... thats something similar to what I'd like to see, except I plan on the car being my daily driver... after all, cars are meant to be driven.
