i just picked up an S5 vert and since its so heavy my back hurts now.....
really though after driving it around for a few days i think if i had money i'd do the following, and of course since its a nice quiet comfortable cruiser, this is aimed at keeping a comfortable street car
1. rear gears! it needs 4.8's. the top of second gear is about 60mph, it takes sooOOOOOO long to get there i had a chance to eat lunch and then go over my calendar, and then answer some emails.
2. exhaust with a cat. i kind of did this already, the engine is happier. you need the cat with the top down to avoid smelling....
3. tires! it needs either 205/50/15's on the stock wheels, or some LIGHT 15x7 with a 225/45/15 tire. mine has like 215/95/15's on it, not helping, the best thing i did with my last car was 205/50/15's, instead of 205/60/15....
