I'm going to do a speed trace of my car soon with speed directly taken from the CAN bus. I'm going to do it again once I get my car tuned as well. We'll see how it does

Whoa, Phil is referring to when his M271 got the jump on me a couple of months ago. We were at a light, rolling start and we went at it. My car struggled to find the gear, and quickly we ran out of runway.

Phil, sweetie, did you forget the caravan some years ago?

I wasn't referring to you man! It was more of a comment to the C320 FTW kids.

Plus, we all know that those numbers are for a car when it was new and stuff was still good.

Ohh, I get it, I get it. I still giggled like a girl wondering what you meant.

We all know your M3 would rape and sodomize our Non AMG W203s.

I had my Fiat's injectos cleaned at RC engineering in Torrance. About a day turn around. Get them in, early a.m., get them back next day p.m.

I'm sure by now, I could get more power by cleaning them up.

Its about a 100 odd for four.

That radiator flush is easy cheese hardest part is having to give the old antifreeze to a recyclying center.

Give it to John before he moves. Now how often do you think we'll hear from Jen and John right now?

My guess is the action is between the sheets....
