Make the car lighter.
Fly wheel.
Wheels
Tires
Brake kit from Racing Brake is lighter
Braile or Ossody battery
Go on diet
Buy a G8 GT FTW!

he's lying. he could get more HP with a different tune or more psi. wtf? he doesn't have a supercharged 8 and not know that. unless maybe he's just a f'ing moron with money to spend.

pictures or it's fake.

yeah, then strap some AK 47's to your car..... oh and some stickers, like... but make sure you have the AEM sticker because thats the most important one.


now you will have the power to go fast, the stickers to look good, and the guns to kill any1 who disagrees.


oh wait, you need A LOT of those stickers you get from donating to the police, so you dont get arrested
