Hadn't read this review until just now when it was bumped. I'm taking it that the guy isn't the biggest baseball fan... Bottom of the 8th, bases loaded, 2 outs... Don't worry, there's still a 9th. :P

That is good news. So funny that most did not believe this. It means with extended mods + 250 are achievable and with displacement increase a maximum of 300 PS. That is was I said from the beginning.

Keep in mind this is somebody's opinion from a few minutes of test driving November of last year. Somebody who didn't know how to turn Traction Control off. :P

Well these are all mass produced cars, so on a personal level everyone wants to make it their own. To personalize something that is mass produced. To get a feeling of exclusivity???
