If all you're looking for is track times a $40 cutout is worth its weight in gold.

It probably won't get you under 8 seconds though.

It's quite possible that it gets you a 7.9, if you get good traction and the weather is great and have alot of luck. But I guess you might hit 8.0. Just get the cutout and find out. It's one of those cheap mods that you just have to have for the price. You can get one from Jeg's for $25. Hell with all the mods I have I just barely hit 8.2's at the track, but I spin like I'm on ice.

Graphite, where'd you get those wheels? I love the way they look. I was looking at some Enkei ZR2's, but they just didn't have any in the specs I was looking for. Get back with me on that. Thanks!
