Bored and Curious...

This past weekend was very exciting for me. I installed my GMPP Touring Exhaust on Friday and then got my dealer to install the Stage 2 on Monday (yesterday). My power mods are: Intake, Exhaust, and Stage 2.

So, just curious, with these mods, what cars are now worth trying to beat and which cars are still out of my reach? What cars have you guys beaten with similar mods?




p.s.- for those that care or haven't modded yet and are curious. I love the stage 2. You can't tell the difference when just driving... I couldn't tell anything was done to it when driving it off the dealer lot, but at WOT you get one hell of a kick in the pants. And the trip to the 7000rpm redline feels like forever... plenty of room to make power, love it. It pulls much harder and builds boost MUCH faster. It tops at around 16psi and instantly goes to 11-12psi when you're just getting on it to pick up speed.

SRT-4 is the one I'm hoping for. There are a couple rolling around town that are pretty cocky... can't tell if they're stock though.

The RSX-S I was able to beat with just an intake (also known as stock...lol).

Are the new Stang GT's really beatable with a stage 2?

If you can pull a 14.0 out of your stage 2 you should be fine with the GT's. As long as they don't hook really well on launch you'll at least keep up with them and make them regret getting a V8. And wasting all that gas just to look dumb. :P

If you get your 2.9 you will have no trouble with keeping up.

Just learn to launch and you'll be fine
