You can't beat the performance, though. Plus they look so pretty in the fall.

True. It would be nice if they didn't use such an inefficient supercharger from the factory though. Or if they didn't rust out everytime they were caught in a spring rain.

Well I heard they were going to add a supercharger to the exhaust for better flow. That should help with the intake supercharger. And a coating of rustoleum clear will go a long way.

I heard they were going Direct Injection to deal with the rusting issues. It derustifies pretty efficiently

There's still sooo much road noise though.

I bet if they add a BOV to the exhaust it will open things up a lot.

Not too mention the oil temperature issues. That thing overheats if you take it to the track. That's why you gotta mix kool aid in with the oil to help absorb the excess heat. The heat vaporizes the kool aid and the kool aid vapors come out of the exhaust. It makes your exahust gases taste
