I thought 516-lbs of torque at 2650 RPM is outrageous. But it finally occurred to me that you can never have enough power... regardless how much you already have.

+1

But I have really drawn the line right now on power and told myself that I'm good at where I am. We'll see how long that goes...

I might do other things to try and make the car faster. It already has enough power for the mods.

Haha...Sun that thing you told yourself won't last very long. It's a fricken sickness and a never ending black hole. Just think...11.05, how much would be willing to spend to pickup that extra .05?

I keep telling myself this is it then I hear Sun is getting something new....oh oh better get something new . I sure hope we hit some good times to finally put this bug to rest.

Just working more deals for Carbon Fiber and the 997TT
Working for BBS Red Lugs for the GT-R
Working on another Cobb Tune for the GT-R
Thinking about new wheels for the M6
Even thinking about lowering the GS350 and putting some dubs on it.

With my set up as it is right now, my goal is 11.2. Anything better then that is all good with me! Since the engine side has enough power, I want to better other parts of the car so I can have an ALL AROUND fast car.

ALL THE TIME!!!!!

Don't really want to MOD the E55 because I know it will turn into a never ending process.

My last HONDA which was suppose to be a daily driver turned into a MONEY PIT.

I think the real benchmark is if you think more about mods than chics day in and out... then its a real sickness.

good, I was really starting to think I have a major problem when it comes to how many times I think about my car and always looking for the next thing to do. polls reflect that I am in the majority

I know what you mean.

I got 500 + horsies already, and I keep eyeing at the shorty headers. But they only give 25-30 rwhp more, so I doubt you can feel the difference if you have 500 already.

My mind is telling me to save the dough. My heart is telling me to go for it.
