well considering they are what, low 14 second cars to start off??
and there was no tuning involved? I'd be happy with it

GT30 costs like 1200-1300.... plus a few other goodies

To put perspective. In order for my 2.5L V6 to go from a 15.8 to a 14.5 is a lot more money than just "slapping in a huge turbo" that costs 1300 buck. IE: ZE = 1000 shipped alone which would put me in high 14s if i can drive (which i can't lol) but then CAI, exaust, headers which is another what... 800 bucks (estimate) depending on what you buy or if you build stuff yourself.

So Big huge turbo in a MS6 PLUS a tune?? ya ill take it Additionally, it much harder to go from a quick speed to a fast speed, than it is to go from slow to quick.

My worry would be...can the AWD drivetrain take the torque on those launches when you get the higher numbers. AFAIK, the diffs aren't very beaffy are they?

And im not knocking you, i know you know your stuff, im just voicing my opinon. The GT30 will be good for more power down the road, no?
