After a long day at work it’s always good to hit up some empty roads to release some stress. I got to do a few stoplight pulls and spin the tires going into second followed by a pop from the exhaust. I need to do this more, it’s therapy.

(It's got the Ford Performance Power Pack which brings the car to 335hp/390lb-ft and an exhaust that may or may not add power but it does lower the weight by 45lbs cause titanium, yo)

I could be complaining and saying that 390 ISN'T enough but, that'd be ridiculous.

I mean, it’s your own fault if you haven’t 2JZ’d it already. It takes like *five minutes with handtools!

*(no it doesn't. The swap isn't even the slightest bit easy)

Honestly the ~ 23 0 in the FiST was more than enough. Bigger numbers isn't always more fun but a lot of the time they are.

Well, the important number is power, not torque.... but you’re well covered anyway

The 458 “only” made 398 lb-ft. I’m basically a Ferrari, definitely switching my pony badges for a stallion.

Italian dealerships HATE this man's one simple trick for more affordable torque!™

I think the E90 M3 only makes 290 ft lbs or something? And LFA also has super low torque.

Both are important and the takeaway is that I have enough (for now). > 300hp in a daily is a little bit ridiculous but from here on out I'm never have less.

Yes, my stinger is similarly potent and it is more often than not absolutely overkill. I should’ve gotten the 4 cyl version... this car really temps me into bro-mode

I used to joke with my friend that the Japanese hate torque. The torque numbers  for cars with similar horsepower tend to be lower than American and German cars.

I also realized that your car probably doesn't weigh much more than mine, yet has nearly 50% more horsepower...

It’s not as bad as the FP makes it out to be, but there are enough Pollyanna types around that I’d have been on the receiving end of some blue lights within 10 minutes. Especially with my custom plate.

I end up getting groceries and driving 10 miles to work. I almost never get to use the power, I need to take a day and go hit up the the nothingness that is north north Jersey. Endless good roads and few cops.

425ftlbs at the wheel with 3300lbs wasn’t quite enough, I feel  like 550-600 would be ideal.

My cousin had an SS of the same vintage in high school , it was an auto but we used to thrash it. Blasting Job for a Cowboy through a couple of oversized subs with the T-tops off.

I kinda wish I had T-Tops. This one is pretty stripper though with only AC, fogs and remote hatch release options

I have to tell people on a near-daily basis that no, it isn’t a 1LE

But it brings back memories of my first car, an ‘85 “sport coupé” V6. So hard to get in and out of. Ride just inches above the pavement. Rattles and squeaks abound. But no nannies, no anything to keep me from doing incredibly stupid things with a V8 that throws all its torques at idle

Lol if I had that much power and RWD I’d definitely end up killing myself when I’m driving to blow off steam. Even with a Miata I can easily get it out of whack if driven like a mad man. But it's super easy to just catch it and then stop being stupid. Pretty sure I'd just end up off a cliff with more power.

I definitely would be dead if I had this car when I was living in Germany. I used to go out around midnight 3-4 times a week to go drive in the mountains, I would drive that thing to it's limit all the time (it'll do 144 on the Autobahn). I'll try to find an image of the route I used to take.

290-300 in the FiST is a riot. Whenever I get a new tune for my intercooler unpgrade, I should be sitting at around 300wtq.

Have you thought about a throttle response chip? Had one on my 14' GT and it added a new level of performance feel without actually adding any hp/tq for pretty cheap.

Probably only if I tell people it does. Gains are probably not much in reality but it does change the power to weight ratio which is just like having more power.

Warranty is why I’m waiting - when I bought the car, my wife made me promise no tunes until it’s expired.  I’ve got 10,000 miles to go or May of next year :).

I have the Ford CPO warranty and my tune is through them as well. As long as I don't retune or doing anything crazy I have 75,000 miles to go!

That’s really amazing they do that - if VAG detects a tune on your car they immediately give you a “TD1" status and almost any warranty claim that’s drivetrain- related is immediately denied.

I've had good experiences with Ford as far as warranty stuff goes. My Cobb tuned FiST got a replacement engine with no questions asked about my modifications
