I love fast.
More specifically, I like acceleration...top speed not so much.
I like being buried in the seat.
The reality of it is that I need good gas mileage so I am just on the sidelines watching you guys have all the fun.

thats NOT good gas mileage -- it has negative ground cams another words the valve opens at 2 degrees past tdc this is so the turbo can fully pressureize the intake tract -- regular cams the boost is blown out the valve -- on the line when you bring up the rpm's it actually blows a flame out the 3.5" single tail pipe -- it idles like someone took 2 plug wires off -- people tell my son all the time -- that thing needs a tun up -- bad -- it will pull the wheel off the ground on the right side for a few feet (only because the boy FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO CONTROL THE WHEELIES)..this is one of those cars that you can NOT grab the dash when he nails it.. its like the space shuttle taking off... all ya ever need is 8 to 10lbs of boost -- thats about 750/800 hp... i built the roll cage for it.. (love my tig) even my lawn mower has a header and a cold air intake + a shaved head -- lol
