I got two free passes to the dragway that the dealership owns too - so I'll probably go to a T & T coming up soon, see what kind of times I can get out of it. It's always good to have a baseline anyway - and get something more true to my driving than what is in a magazine.
I've heard that the only difference is a chip flash and intake is the only difference between the two motors, but I'm not totally sure(maybe I heard one of you guys say that?) . That'd be the best way to add ~50hp if that were true, and the cheapest way too. I was checking out these intake and exhaust packages, and they are ridiculous, so I'll probably wait until warranty runs out and just get a system custom fabbed for like 1/3rd the cost. I dont know shit about FI, so it's time to learn I suppose. Changing the components around probably isnt too bad of a job, just need to do some research and find out what's what.
I'm sure I would like to auto-x, just never really had a car to do it in before. Well, that I wanted to do it in before. My SS would have body roll like a mother, i'd guess. Tight turns would make it break traction all the time if you got on it too soon - which may make me hit a cone, which may put a small dent in my basically flawless paint - so I was a bit scared to try that.
