I'd love to have one for a DD, considered buying one but didn't really want to spend a lot. After driving the turbo one, I don't know if I could settle for the SC one. I don't mind the wing though, it fits it I guess, being a 4 cyl lol

Edit: After actually looking at the youtube page I see that car has the same mods my buddys had, minus charge pipes.. that was before he put a hole in a piston, anyway.

Sadly only got to compare it to mine once, just playing around on the highway.. but like I said, I was surprised

Lightly modded, they'll pull on stock C5's all day long on the highway. I think mine put down 285ish/325ish on ZZP's Mustang Dyno with just !cats, a tune, and a little replacement silicon elbow that goes on the turbo inlet. At 3000lbs, they're no slouch.

I would spend my money else where ive yet to see a impressively fast one locally, only decent fast one has a built motor and an aftermarket turbo kit on it.

Thing was sticking to the road when I went for a ride while filming. Pretty tight little car. He pulls on me when he brake boosts. The car makes 310/380 at the wheels.

More than that! You'd probably lose around 30!!! Seems like the wing is counter productive with a FWD.
