Well I have had both, but not with spray...I like both, and In the future I will most like put a GV unit on my 400, but its awesome the way it is now, I can still drive it as much as the 6-speed, but its horrible on the highway and a monster on the street... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

A3 will be much quicker at the strip, but will suck driving around town.

I actually like driving it around town...highway is a different story, but now that I got my quieter exhaust I won't mind making a hour and 30 minute trip to the track... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
