They learned to drive standard in a viper. Best dad ever.

HELL YEAH, okay that sounds fun, now how much was it?

It wasn't cheap. I'd expect it to be around $3k depending on airfare and lodging. But when you figure you're about to drop more than half that on performance parts and labor, it's a little easier to wrap your head around.

Yeah I'm going to take your advice, I'm gunna get berk HFCs, the uprev tune and call it a day. Thanks for everything you've done and for dealing with my ignorance and stupidity lol! And maybe driving lessons in future. Depending on the price of course!

Get some instruction regardless of price. It can be as simple as having someone ride along at an AutoX. You've already got a very fast car that can get away from you in an instant. VDC is not going to always save you. You need to learn car control. The best thing I've learned from getting some professional instruction is how much room it takes to recover from a fuckup. That slowed me down a lot.

So you want a louder exhaust noise? I'm surprised ater six pages noone has mentioned the most cost effective mod to achieve this - the ingenious washer trick!!!! Do a search for the how to.

He's got to be ******* with you. Don't do the "washer mod". It usually gets suggested as a joke. There are a few people who actually run it, but I secretly think their parents were related.
