Eric doesn’t seem to like the numbers that the Dynapack spits out at you. I have found that Dynojet, Dynapack read very similarly. He has spent a lot more time on the dyno than me , but I know what I have seen.** 500 whp with an exhaust change is no joke. I did not think the ECU would allow the car to run higher boost, with changes like this. It seems like the all knowing , all controlling ECU is not as big and bad as Nissan said it was. I really don’t like the look of this exhaust still. Who really needs 4 exhaust tips ? Works great for the Corvette guys , I want to see a true twin, or one big single exhaust. Add some mid-pipes , add some boost , and we will see 550 whp. ---

Looks like all the preformance speculation has been crushed. I haven’t read one negative thing about the car from any automotive news / 3rd party source. Only on forums have I read that people think it’s ugly, and even then it’s been compared to the Enzo - ugly in pictures, hot in person. And this is for you MPD. You can start counting now; ![http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/7916/crashedgtrke8.jpg](http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/7916/crashedgtrke8.jpg) ![http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/1401/crashedgtr2un9.jpg](http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/1401/crashedgtr2un9.jpg) ---
