Goals
I'd say the goals for this car are different from most dubbers. I don't like slammed cars with stretched tires, shaved emblems, or big sound systems. I think the car looks almost perfect with the factory body kit and wheels. I want to make it faster and handle a little better, but not be flashy. I don't like to draw attention to my car or myself with tons of after market exterior parts or with a loud ass exhaust. Not to say I'm hating or discouraging other people from doing what makes them happy. What makes me happy is just different from what makes most dubbers happy.

This year I'm going to a dyno day as well as going to the drag strip. I'm not expecting any super impressive numbers, but I think it will be a lot of fun. I know this car isn't going to be a beast, but for a daily driver and occasional autocross or 1/4 mile racer, it's really all I need.

And someday in the future I'll just buy a Corvette... :)
