Had a lil run in with a guy that said he had Stage 2.. It was a black 05 and even had a sticker on the back side windows that said Stage 2. And back bumper was pretty fucked up. lol
Now he had a car full and I had a passenger, but he didnt pull at all.. Actually I got ahead a little and stayed there.
I dunno. if your on here but id like to do it again.. Maybe with a little less passengers on your part.
I told him I was a dissapointed with what I saw, and he just said he had a full load.. So whoo knows!

He could have other issues like cam timing or the dealer gave him stage 1 reflash (according to my dealer there is a difference).

I know when I have a full load I can feel the difference in the overall performance of the car. No doubt about that. Maybe thats why it was a kinda of a even race? Unless the dealer told him that the sticker adds 40 HP. lol

The bar is pretty heavy duty and more of a performance peice than a show peice.

I truly believe a full load will slow you down significantly.. Just from the Ass-O-Meter

Having the extra 45 horses is supposed to give you .7 off the 1/4 as well.

I went out for a bit at around 10:30. Nice night for a cruise. Portage was a crawl though, and there were a ton of cops out. Had a ghost car on my ass for a bit on Main until a rice burner flew past me, cut me off across two lanes and made a stupid left turn. The ghost car ditched me at that point 
When are people going to learn that Sunday is not the night to drive like a tool?
