Im LMAO watching three pages of people constantly refresh the internet explorer to see if RMW has responded to this thread yet

Seriously though its not like they arent going to put up a BIG bulletin on the NAM homepage as soon as they can to update everyone on how to make our cars go faster

Actually the "bulletin" will probably be a dyno sheet and a form to enter your bank routing and account number to setup the monthly bank draft.

Maybe Jan could set-up an "RMW Savings Account Program" where we could just pay a monthly check to and as our savings reach a certain amount we can then order parts!!! That way our wife's wouldn't see the BIG bills all at once...

Check your 401k options... mine has the "RMW Power Fund" listed as an option. But weird... it's losing dollars faster than my other accounts...

Hard to believe it's falling faster than stocks
You obviously need to contribute more

My wife pays for her stuff with her money, and I pay for my stuff with my money. Two breadwinners + no children = selfish money spending on modifications! I love it!

I'm so anxious... isn't W2A some sort of intercooler cretin? That is what my novice googling produces... but RMW says nobody is even thinking of this yet for the R56...

I hope it isn't just some sweet intercooler that produces 5 more hp than others.... THAT would be a letdown!

It will be better than that.

W2A = Water to Air Intercooler. Instead of using the radiator like core which is cooled by the air, it is enclosed and utilizes water for cooling.
