Love it! You don't need an exhaust or intake to notice the gains

I'm using the 155b E85 tune (with E85!) and am very happy with it. The "torque dip" does not bother me at all because I don't drive in the freakin' torque dip. I've read the Phantom thread, but how do you like yours below 4K and and above 5?

a little more power would be nice

Tell them to IGNORE the haters, those tards bought the wrong car. Sadly, my money is on the popularity of the car being it's undoing because they will feel the need to "improve" it. I'll be perfectly happy with my '13, regardless.

ETA: Tell them to fire any designer who thinks the RB kit looks cool.

They are fitting retractable hood mounted Gatling guns... Everyone knows that.

It's a great improvement over stock. I am running 93 and I love it, with E85 it has significantly more power. I will be posting videos in a few days as well as a write up. I plan to compare stock vs. ESC/93 vs. ESC/E85.

Thanks. I more interested in torque and powah! below 4k. Wrong motor for that, but still willing to try!

I would like to see the HID headlamps with LED's standard. Beyond that I would really like to see a handling/track pack such as the rumored Tada tuned 86.. BBS wheels, sticky Dunlop Direzza's and revised damper settings. That combined with a slight bump in power would be amazing.

For some of us we buy a car for the creature comforts, so with that said I would like to have a sunroof!

Sunroof will never happen, it would spoil the hardtop's rigidity.

I can't say anything for the 2015 model but the 2016 will come in regular trims + a new turbo or bigger displacement trim.

There will also be an option where you can have it infused with Energon so that if you are ever in trouble, your car will transform and save your ass. Oh don't forget the most import improvement: the seat belts will be blacker.
