to make a g5 faster all you need is some yellow paint (or is it red?) for the brake calipers. I know of a past member on here(Black\_WS6) who painted his prelude calipers yellow or red and gained a whole second in the 1/4, it was badass. A bunch of stickers helps also, but paint is where it’s at. ---

G5 just needs a turbo ecotec and build it up to 400whp or so. that may get a Z06 shouldnt be that hard to do, there are alot of parts for ecotecs ---

i still consider it one 😛 same reason as i’m sure DW did. any mitsu that can be made damn fast for pretty cheap = dsm for me, lol i don’t go off the technicalities n such. so yea, i’ll be wrong by calling it one, but oh well. . . not as bad as people thinking my car is a 240, or my old celica was a supra. ---
