1 full second in the 1/4 is a BIG deal...takes a pretty decent power increase to make the same car go from a 16.4 to a 15.4!!! My ran a 15.4 in my MX-6 Gt at 84mph and i thought that was a pretty good run. And I can usually wax MSP's

yeah at the track 1 second is a big difference on the street it's much less noticeable!! It's good for me though to be at a 40+hp disadvantage. Once I get my cams and full exhaust I should be right up there with ya!!

Also, If I had my LSD installed already I could Launch much harder...right now I'm stuck launching at 2800rpms...not agressive at all!

my stock MSP would mop the floor with the 6s....not a problem.

I'm really hoping to get my extrude hone P&P done and drop in the cams and I should be good to go.

I wish the MSP's much success. I'd love to see them become a rare tuner model like the GTi and VR6

when I say "mop the floor" I mean a car length or better!
