    he sure seemed excited driving that thing.....*sarcasm*

    lets face it, a stock 3s relative to other cars isn't exactly the most exciting car to drive around.

    yeah add 200-300 hp and its quite a different animal.

    I'm not sure what he really meant on his comments about the brakes. 3/s brakes in good condition are not bad until you get them too hot. The initial bite that he was complaining about while gently braking or whatever, isn't bad at all.

    Funny that The Smoking Tire had no idea about the actual potential of these cars. Someone should see if they are interested in visiting Bowling Green, KY this June to check out what a nice gathering of these cars looks like and what the range of performance can truly be.

    people are in the dark when it comes to these things...STILL...Matt being a car enthusiast didn't know that people modify these cars to 500+hp...thats shocking to me. This platform really is cloaked in darkness when looking at it from the outside world.

    We need a nice example near L.A. to get to him to do a proper review. Not that it matters what he thinks, but it's always nice to get good exposure to the platform
