Ok, not really, but I wanted to get your attention. I think everyone needs to read this. There is a lot of mis-information out there about this subject and I think this will help clear it up. CLICK HERE

Sweet, I lose less power than I thought. I've always seen that it is 12%ish for FWD and RWD cars, but 15-20% for AWD cars, depending on the AWD system. I've heard the WRX loses a lot, like 25%, as well as being stifled by 3 freaking catalytic converters...

I like threads with hard information and some real data. Reading passed on internet BS bores me. I've been hit & miss around here lately because I've had LOTS of issues arise as soon as I got back from vacation. Either I'm in the garage working on cars or talking with loan officers and looking at houses and condos.
