You TRAITOR...okay, okay, just kidding. Should be very bad ***...I love the torque curves on those. Flat as a board, and you get tons of it at low RPMs. I've never been in one, but I can only imagine.

Absolutely. Anything other than a KB for a first mod IMO is a waste...except maybe exhaust and a CAI kit.

Driving / launching this car is a easy as any I've driven. It just took a little bit to get used to...just like every other car. Launching with all my mods on Nittos is a little tricky since DR's aren't that helpful on the 100 shot. Their still good for 1.6 60's though.

Man, I tried to run this blue '03/'04 cobra with a huge cobra emblem on the rear window(Sound fimilar Unit??) the other day on the highway just so I could see in person how hard those things pulled from a roll but he wouldn't bite(no pun intended) I know he had atleast some exahust work done because it sounded pretty nice but he didn't want to play....

Sweet deal Brandon. How's life without the SS? I just noticed your sig pic has been changed. Hopefully you will have another picture to put in there soon...

This is off topic, but how's the baby doing? You haven't been on aim in forever... Im sure you have like no more free time anymore

I am getting a Torch Red '04 Monday or Tuesday.

The baby is great but, she does take up a LOT of free time. But it is worth every second of it.

No, but the majority of us are 500+rwhp.

With that choice in front of you though, can you really lose? You'd have fun regardless of what you picked.

hehe, just put that 6k into your ws6... you'll feel better about your choice. Considering you can get a 402 stroker block for under 4k now

Might want to think about HD halfshafts or a solid rear too then.

There's a guy in the local SVT club here who went with the Kenne Bell AND N20. That thing is a monster! Good luck with your new purchase.

That's the whole POINT. Even a monkey can launch on MT's.

Who said anything about MT's? You think Nittos are built to handle this kind of power/torque? They can't even hold 450rwhp let alone 600/700.

...then try that on a bone stock IRS.
