Building up the engine

^LOL, I agree with the quote, but it's funny that you put a pic of yourself with your pop's car (In my mind, I take the Internet with a grain

And to elaborate more on what he said about enjoying ur dd I have to agree. I have a DD but more and more I find myself taking out the boosted ride simply becuz it's just more fun. I didn't drop all this money to have the car sit in the garage until a sunny weekend. Stage 2 TT and 12lbs of boost is just toooo much fun to not use it. Like buying ur wife a boob job and then have her covered up until Saturday night... no no no

The key is a good install and tune. 12lbs 534hp and 500tq and over 10k miles later I'm still loving it. I have to force myself to take the DD out more simply cuz the boosted ride eats up way more gas and tires cost more money. If u do it right the first time it'll be worth it.

To me personally I've gotten used to the power and it doesn't seem as fast as the first day I got it but to everyone else that tries to show off its w nice reminder when I see the expression on their faces that my car is still fast.

The paint is a mess, and just a ton of other little **** that bugs me about it. Im going through mid life crisis right now, and im 25... Nothing seems like enough. I seriously need to look at getting a DD so at least i can stop wearing this one out. I love the car, but i just want more power, more speed. If i throw a TT kit on it, thats great and all, but then i would need suspension mods, new brake setup, no to mention my paint job is totally used up. Thats about 4k right there to get it done right. Maybe around 2-3 if i get it wrapped. so add it all up and i have a car that i love, that is slower than a 2009 gtr, and quite a bit more expensive (at the used price) GRRRRRRRRRRR

Okay im done venting. Just in a **** mood today. I really do love my car

Sounds like the car will never satisfy you. If your a speed junky like me, nothing with satisfy your speed adrenaline rush like a 1000cc Sports bike. No matter how fast you think your car will go it would take alot for it to keep up with a 1000cc bike. (has it been done before, yes) But a stock 1Kcc bike will give you that feeling you want right out of the box.

The thing with the bike vs a car. You feel every bit of fast and the "oh ****" meter goes up a lot higher than the safety confines of being inside a car lmao

If the OP hasn't been riding motorcycles his entire life, recommending a liter bike is terrible advice. That's not a starter bike at all.

True, just giving my opinion based off my experience. I don't know everyone's personal life story. Apologies

No worries, man. A sport bike is definitely the cheapest way to go really fast, but the learning curve is a real bastard.
