[Shotimes] Speed Upgrades

[Zach Leahy]

Carl's got a point, the motor has a grin factor.
 ditch the silencer and box and then go with an aftermarket exhaust. I have
had more than one person ride in my car for a whil under 3500 RPM. You can
tell they just think something is noisy. Best part though is to put it in
3rd or 4th (if you have lots of non-cop-infected room) and run from 2k-6k.
Watch them go "What the heck was THAT!?" When the secondaries open at WOT.
Sorry, I gotta say I love that sound :) It's worth the pennies in maintnance
to just hear that. That's why even with gas prices at $3/gallon when I drive
the green car, I generally accelerate spirited. Just cause it makes "the
noise"
 Now I just need it to make "the other noise". Whistle Whistle...
