Bawhahahahaha!!!! No, that was not a snicker!

That ^ reminds me...... a few years back a guy had a bad keyboard. His CAPS LOCK would turn on and off by itself.

mAnY oF hiS poSTs enDed uP lOokinG liKe tHis!

It was hilarious! I gave him **** about it until he got it fixed.

And.... another guy couldn't get his Q key to work, so every time he needed a Q he would type "cue." The cueuality of his cueuips was cueite interesting.

the new GT3 has a 3.8L and puts down 450. if your looking for 500hp n/a you will need a 6.4L Hemi. (525HP) haha

seriously bolts ons are pretty much limited for the 3.4 and 3.6L. chip, exhaust, and the plenum splitter. i havent seen anything to do with bigger injectors or raising fuel pressure, or cams. but cams are probably out there. now are they worth the price for hp and time to install.........well thats another thread.

Actually, it's the GT3 RS that has 450HP.

The GT3 has "only" 435 HP.

It aint always just about HP.... The most important mod you can make is to lose some weight off the car. That affects your braking, your acceleration, and your overall handling.

I'm pretty sure I'm the fastest 3.4 996 on the planet and I only have 270 rwhp, about 320 flywheel. BUT..., together we only weigh 2600 on fumes. As I said, it aint always just about HP....
