There aren't THAT nice.

Don't get me wrong, I like them....they sit low and have a sporty feeling and all but they don't tickle my fancy.

If I'm going to sit that low, I'll take a 645Ci/650i Coupe or a Z4 3.0 thank you very much.

i have been poking around clube31.net, and they can be pretty fast with just a few mods.

0-100 in 13 seconds(i think that was the time anyway) with only a chip, and exhaust. and that was with a crappy start.(thats what he said anyway)

And He "hasn't put the chips in yet"?

I believe that Optimism may be the order of the day here.

Mine should be up around 340+ hp at the moment and the best I would hope for in the 1/4 mile would be low to mid 14's at about 100 mph. It is still slower than the Cobra thru 1st but it should be nearly equal for the rest of the quarter.

Something to do with setting 4000+ pounds into rapid motion.

I quiver in terror that Riced out Honda Civics might challenge me
