Some of those can be quick. Especially the Stage 3's.

But you lost to a modded one, so you know what that means right?..

Time for more mods!

There are a couple in my neck of the woods that are pushin some insane power. A buddy of mine at ACU-4 had a black one, He just went to a stage 3 on it and had to sell it within two weeks, cause he had to have back surgery and the clutch was killin him, And that was his daily driver. lol. Oh well. It was nice though
