Yeah i like them. but to be honest with you i dont really have anything to compare to except stock. im pretty new to this racing thing. ive just drove it a few times so i havent had a chance to get on it like i would like. i will say i get out a whole lot quicker

if you drive the speed limit or even a little over you'll be fine.......you gotta remember what driving geared cars was like before they had 5th gear or over drive

i usually just keep in fifth on the interstate but often find myself dropping down few and cruising when i feel a potential challenge. i notice i get tested the most when im not paying attention( especially by those hondas w the fart boxes). will i lose that luxoury
