u guys are killing me. i still haven't maximize my cars potential yet.. what would i do with 500+ hp.

have you guys ever been up against a subaru wrx? I didn't push it bc it was dark but that car is pretty fast. we took turns flooring it while passing each other then letting off. a friendly back and forth race.

I used to have a 05 WRX STi. VERY fast straight-line car. Except for TT/GT3/GT2, it will give most 911s a run for "our" money... I never raced TT/GT3/GT2 but I did leave a few 911s behind off the traffic light.

That is one of the reasons why I want more power... I would love to see my "previous me"'s faces in the mirror wondering what went wrong...

Default Count me as on the fence....

...very interested but it depends on the pricing quote from EVOMS. Post holiday funds planning didn't take a possible SC group buy into account.

Should I begin the panhandling effort now?

I might be interested as well, as said previously in some replies it depends on the prices though.

When You've reached the guys at EVO please do give an update if they are willing to do this and if so, what is the price and how much does the price vary if there are say up to 5, 6-10, 11-15 and so on buyers for the kit.

I have been calling EVO MS several times today with no luck. I always get the answering machine.

I wonder if they are off for the holidays?

I have emailed EVOMS for other items and have had no response as yet. I would hazard a guess they will be returning in the new year

I am wondering what the maint costs will be for running this engine supercharged. Could get expensive in the long run....

It would be nice to pull up to my friends E55 and leave him in the dust............

Also see if you can get an "installed" price at the same time......

I got my SC when the 6speedonline group buy was on and it saved from 10,500 to 9300 on the hardware and down to 1500 on install from 3000. I may be off on those figures a bit but a group of guys did the group buy and they may correct me if I am wrong. I had a local shop do my install and Todd even kicked in a little help on some re-enginering that needed to be done on my C4S that was a little different than the C2's. I am planning to take my car down there in Mar to get some fine tuning and the clutch and flywheel package. Will

Wow, $3000.00 for normal install, does it take them almost 2 days to install the kit. The centrifugal supercharger is supposed to be the quickest install from the 3 blowers. I would hate to see the price on a TPC, which uses the roots blower
