EVO 2 power package
I was looking at the EVO 2 power package - can anyone tell me what kind of improvement I will see in the 0-60 time?
I'd like to improve the off-the-line acceleration more anything since I don't really plan on driving faster than 110 mph. Any suggestions?

you have to get rid of that front license plate, it ruins the whole look of the car. i know you are "suppose" to have a front license plate, but who freakin' cares. here in illinois, you have to have a front plate but every car i own, i never put a plate. if i get a ticket, so be it, but i will NEVER put a front license plate on any of my vehicles. BTW, nice car!

Rob: Attached is a chassis dyno showing stock C32 vs. Stage I and Stage II.
With stock suspension and tires, improvement in 0-60 is not likely to be big - low 5s. With stickier tires and stiffer suspension some customers were able to get in mid4s.

Rob:
With 265s and stock suspension you should break into 4s. Actually as suspension wears out it helps with rear weight transfer for a better traction. However, handling becomes too mushy.
As far as upgrading your suspension, there are number of choices. On my C32 I have H&R coilovers, that I find are good compromise between handling and ride.
There are number of other makes of coil-over kits and springs. Do a search and you will find a wealth of posts on handling topic.
