You can do anything you want. Eventually you get misfires. It’s important to use the best coil packs you can get for your car.

Sure. Helps if it has a SIMOS 9.0 ECU so it can make the changes quickly and individually on each valve.

Yeah I mean if the car is less than $33k, there are some cheap parts. If you’re talking about a $50k and up car, normally they’ve done everything right. If you’re going to beat on it at a track, you have a little bit more work to do.

You need a pretty sophisticated engine that can vary the ignition timing advance on the fly.

1/ Cats are great for burning off excess fuel, no one wants to see a new BMW that stinks like gas. Modern cats aren’t very restrictive and no one can prove dyno gains with “long tube headers” or any such nonsense.

HEDGHOG CUTE

Definitely worth saving this 130 WHP car which does a 17 second 1/4 mile at 80 MPH. I’m mostly thankful the “Special Vehicle Team” didn’t get their hands on the GT350.

What could go right? Oh, you might just lose it on a turn where no other car has ever crashed. Rear brakes grab, fire you off the track on the inside of the turn, you then jump the track, the curtain airbags blow and ONSTAR calls you on bluetooth.

Every 2.0T owner thinks they get 100 WHP from software. The truth is it’s a lot more complicated than that. It can cost $20k to find 80 WHP over stock, when paired with proper transmission and cooling upgrades.

Brown tide of progress?

What are you guys talking about? This is the 2005 Ford Expedition.

All of them. Every car sucks to work on and as soon as you can afford it you should delegate.

hah well the sample size is “wealthy people in downtown San Francisco who live in $9000 a month apartments with 1 or 2 parking spots”. Those are the buyers of the first 100 Model X to roll off the line and that is where you will find them and see them being talked about.

Those people are so in love with their Mercedes or Porsche they won’t go for this thing. It’s not me, it’s what they tell me.

Conventional positioning looks at people who buy $100k SUV’s as Model X converts. It’s not the case because those people want style and luxury (Cayenne, Macan, X5M, X6M, G550, etc.) The Model X is an upsell from a lower priced people carrier, like a minivan or a more conservative Volvo XC90. Loaded Chevy Suburban,…

The company is a monopoly player in electric vehicle components that is about to corner the market on batteries.

I think it takes from minivan sales more than SUV sales.

The first impressions on this car among style conscious women is not high. They’re the first to say “that thing is ugly” where I never thought that.

I don’t think anyone is trading in their Range Rover for one, but this is a neat car. I’m sure it doesn’t suck to ride in one.

The 918 is clearly the best car. 1000 HP RWD is stupid.
