Its not a drag car. Its just not. You can turn it into one but from the factory dragging is not in its character. Even so, with stickier tires you should be able to take the 3 at the stop light and hang with everybody in canyons.
It pisses me off a bit when base Camaros and Mustangs rev on me and I dont have anything for them but its the same as the driver of an original Camaro thinking he's cool cuz he can take an MG on a straight road. Its stupid.
Add-wallace03 afaik most states have smog test only, and only for cars 3-5 years old. If you dont remove cats youre fine. If you do all bets are off. Just keep your OEM in case you have to swap it back on for testing, or even better, just keep the cats on. You're talking maybe 2 horses difference NA.
