I can't wait ...... wish I could get to Monterey

OR PUT A VIDEO CAM IN THE CAR
.
Would someone please capture the moment.
If this thing delivers just half of the expected performance, my gut tells me that he will not be able to get out of the car because of the raging bulge he has in his pants.
Sort of like the "thumbs up" seal of approval - just that no thumbs are involved .

Hello all: The "S" is my fathers and I am 16 years old and I have a couple of questions. 1. I keep seeing WHP, what would the total WHP be with this kit on a car that is basically stock with only a 15% pulley, CAI, and Catback exhaust. 2. How will car's with this kit stack up to the current hot hatchbacks,(SRT-4's,R32's, and WRX's, stock of course). Thank You for answering these questions. I'm trying to get my father to buy this.
Long ago, TULS, the crazy horsepower man, who works with Fireball Tim and Dr. Fuh, said a MINI with 210whp or so (i think it was his..) can keep even with EVOs.. if M62 and basic bolt on can put you around 230whp.....
Enough said.
