If your losing traction that doesn't mean it has too much power.
It means you need more traction :P |

I learned that I need to improve my driving skills before setting the car settings to "drifter" and putting my foot into the 485HP. |

I have never been a huge fan of a computer telling my car how to retain traction, suspension etc. Im sure its cool to play with it, but I guess I like the raw feeling of the road and car telling me what I need to do.
I DID let my fiance drive my 10 second TA around, and was thankful for the traction control then LOL Current TA has no assist of any kind except ABS. I prefer it~ Why dont you take a driving course? You could spend money on parts and upgrades yada yada yada to infinity, but that same money in some driving lessons might be way more helpful, not to mention safer (controlled) and tons of fun~ Hell, some of them let you use your own car! |

Yeah most people don't understand cubic inches. But they at least grasp horsepower. I'm going with 485 HULK for the personalized plate. Most of the other owners are going with variations or including 392.

If im talking to people that dont know as much about cars, I will try and give crank HP. If im talking to car guys, I give wheel HP~ Not to mention, different kinds of dynos, calibrations, sea level.. on and on. I figure my T/A is somewhere real close to your 485 crank HP mark, which translates roughly to 430 wheel horse. Need to get this thing on a dyno soon. Any plans to dyno your car? |

Dyno time is pretty cheap just to see what you make. If it breaks, it was a POS to begin with and dont say shit about the dyno and just take it to the dealer LOL |
