You could add some decals. Some people go that route.

There's no way but the turbo way. $1,000 or so at rrm on all their drivetrain mods might get you roughly 25 extra hp. Lose the spare tire and jack and with the mods that will shave some weight too (the exhaust mainly). There's also lighter-weight wheels out there too. Smaller wheels and tires will help with acceleration too but your tach will register more miles than you're really putting on. All this and you'll probably still get schooled by Si's. I'm saving for the turbo kit from rrm. It's alot of $ but you gotta pay if you wanna play.

Yikes...the TQ dropped like a rock with the modded car! Granted the pulls were done with different dynamometers, but I'm still left to wonder if it was an individual mod that caused the drop, or the combination of all 3?
And to the OP: Just because you have the same or more HP than a certain car doesn't mean you will magically start winning against them. I've totally spanked cars with much more HP then me...power is completely worthless without skill. Go to driving school & practice first and add the HP later. Of course, what I just said goes under the assumption you're talking about tracking or Auto Xing the car...not racing around public roads like a moron.

I bought 3, 2 for the car, and 1 for my mtn bike. The 2 on the car made OODLES, thats right, OODLES of difference. The gas tank now remains constant or starts filling itself when I coast down hills.
