Because N/A is BORING ! j/k

Raf, I know, seems like everyone is trying to jump on the 800+ rwhp streetcar bandwagon since DJ's car came out of the shop and put down almost 900 in the dead heat. Tiago's also. Watch out for what it does soon with a clutch that actually holds and on the bottle!

Who needs 30+ PSI? I think 18 PSI should do the trick just fine...

See ya'll very soon on the streets of H town...

Mike, looks like another NASTY Beotch coming out of ICON!!

Lookin' forward to seeing it...well at least I was King of the shop for a couple weeks... Then Sean's new project comin' up...Damnit!!

Geezzuusss Mike looks like ICON will sportin' some Very nice High HP true "Street" Muscle...

I can smell the end of the Supra's reign on the streets!
