Granted the car will handle more like a canoe than a car, but it's great for the track.

If your opinion is anything other than what's been bolded, you are clinically insane. Unhook it at the strip, hook it back up for the drive home. A great free mod for the 1320, though.

I agree, it gives a reason to keep to only 2 people in the car when with friends. Adding 350-400 pounds in the rear plus another 150 for the regular passenger sucks. Makes the car feel a bit...well...fat.

Nope just a big plastic resonator that hangs down behind your fan assembly. Its only purpose is to quite down the air intake some. A waste of plastic and room IMO.
