Hey tryannical ,

What are you using to measure your WHP and TQ?

[tyrannical]

@chikafreak dynojet. See other videos :)

[lchivy]

how much boost do you run on a daily basis?

[tyrannical]

@lchivy In the past it was 9 psi. Later on it was 12. The difference from 9 to 12 is substantial. I've gone as high as 14.

Each dyno is different depending on environment/calibration and how the car is run etc etc, therefore dyno readings arn't the be all and end all, what really matters is how you put all that power to use xD

You are quite the charmer.

STRAIGHT from Urban Dictionary - the most commonly accepted definition of "Ricer" is:

"A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster.".

That being said, I drive an import. That also being said, you drive a CHRYSLER. I don't take advice from you - I'd much rather take advice from someone who could run me in the quarter.

[albaniav3]

@Enemyofreali7y if you drive an import you are a ricer regardless of what you drive.

[Enemyofreali7y]

@albaniav3

Your conception of "ricer" is a little skewed. I drive AN import. And I've heard this RWD/FWD thing a million times.

[albaniav3]

@Enemyofreali7y its a different feeling driving the car when you are being pushed rather than being pulled. you are a ricer so you wouldnt know the difference, go drive a mustang 5.0 and drive your speed3 you will see the difference. front wheel drive cars dont give you the feeling of a sports car even if they have over 500hp where a 168hp dual cam 240sx will give you a sports car feeling because its rwd. trust me

[Enemyofreali7y]

@albaniav3

If all you're doing is racing on the highway and going in a straight line, I see not why it matters. Even in the corners the Speed3 is a beast. Boohoo, it can't do a proper burnout or a doughnut. Tires are expensive anyway.

[albaniav3]

@Enemyofreali7y because thats FWD!!

[buklao559]

240hp 600tq

@chuco177 its 238hp in stock with 6 speed manual (i have '05 rx-8), i wish they had more torque and this car would b hot all the way, on the track i feel pretty confident!
