um, i am gussing this is a joke.. or at least hopeing..


No, you NEED an air filter.. Get rid of the wing.. you will get better gas mileage and be able to make it over 90mph. And people that drive past will no longer laugh at you..

I would also recomend buying some performance springs.. they work 1000X better then stock cut springs.. You wont get that bouncing effect.. and it will actually handle better.


Eitherway start reading up on this forum, you can learn alot and actually make your car faster.

LoL this post made me smile heheheheh. NOT a good idea taking off your air filter.... Do a search on air filters and you will find plenty of information about why you shouldn't take it off.

BS! If you just have a 4" exhast tip i call BS..

haha 1st time i have ever done that


Who put your car together? you obviously don't know enough to have done it.. I guess it is possible the car is fast, but someone else had to have made it by..


And if you want a average guess of how fast you will be i sugest you figure out what is all done to yhe car 1st..
