10 Things I think I know about the M7 AGS:
- Based on all the information I've been able to gather (through these forums and in conversations offline with various parties
), the AGS does provide gains in power and throttle response. - If you like superchargers, it makes a great sound
- The install is not to be attempted on a coffee break, but it can be completed by mortals.
- It costs a bit more than the current champion of MINI intakes but not a lot more.
- No one who has tried it has anything bad to say about it. They're all very satisfied, and success seems quite likely.
- No dyno numbers have been made public. But, as several have pointed out, it's just a matter of time.
- It's designed and manufactured by M7, so it's got to be: a) great or b) a complete rip-off
, depending on which colors you're sporting.
- It's not a re-label.
- It's not going to turn an 1.6L four-banger into a big-block Chevy.
- I want one.
You're gonna need more than one little kid to stop this kind of carnage!
I'm ashamed
that I didn't catch the Stripes reference - I pride myself on movie quote trivia.:smile:
The AGS thread is dead - long live the AGS thread!

PF baby! Heck, it's about 10 years since it's release...
Just saw Kill Bill I & II on DVD over the weekend. As usual for Tarantino, very strange stuff, but entertaining... The wife thought it was too gross though

Along with another (un-named) subscriber, I began mocking our new friend, Chris. It was a bit naughty, and I'm truly ashamed. It was insensitive and I should not have posted it. 
In point of fact, the truth hurts sometimes. But, I should have kept my thoughts to myself.
Admittedly, I was initally a little disappointed
that I didn't save a copy of my last post so I could share it privately with some of you. I thought for a little while that what I posted was really pretty funny and entertaining.
But, I've done some soul-searching
, and I've decided to turn over a new leaf. Yep, no matter how badly somebody deserves it, they're not getting it from me. No sir! I'm all about respecting the opinions of others.
So if Chris decides to come back, and if they let him, I'm going to listen to his ideas with an open mind. You can count on me.

I tried to refresh the page but I no longer had the rights to so I knew it was Ka BOOM!
I still cannot accept the win. Let's call it a shared victory.

Has all talk of AGS ceased? Who wants an AGS? Is it possible that the armies have withdrawn and the hositlities have ceased? Is all the controversy around the AGS behind us, now? It really shouldn't be a lot longer before #6 proves or disproves #1 and we can either crown a new champion or not. That will be a happy day. When #7 becomes less sensitive, that will really be a happy day.
