> Ern don’t be too concerned with your times for a few reasons. The car is damn heavy, the last time you were at the track you were boggin down on launch, the car is pig rich from the factory and even with your mods you NEED a tune not only for power but for the safety of your vehicle. Finally you didn’t buy a straight line car. Yes with a tune and some added power you can acheive some nice times but our cars shine in the twisties. Yeah you’ll get owned in a straight line but when you get into a sweeping highway interchange the car is tough to beat.

This is exactly why I went with this instead of an STi 😉 lolololzz

Plus I think they look better.

My question has been this: Why, if the car so desperately needs a tune, for engine life and revving safety blah blah blah, is the EOM tune so damn poor? I understand that if the car is super rich it cant grenade for being lean, but…?
