considering MC ran a very low 11 with LAUNCH CONTROL 2 i'd imagine it will be right at the breaking point of a high 10 or 11 even... that's my guess tho

Sorry, but the letters "GTR" are like catnip for car guys!

Re: the Z...get an exhaust right away. More power, great sound and somehow it cures road noise

oh I'll get exhaust, kit, wheels, and suspension before I get the car. I always do.

exhaust = HKS
kit = still debating...maybe a mix between amuse and sunline
wheels = volk or venaci
suspension = KW or HKS
