I was posting about the G20 when my phone rang, I answered and from the sound of my buddies voice he had just got :D some or he had some car stuff to tell me, I figured he had just gotten his 379 HP to the wheels @ 20 psi SE-R runnin, or he did the SR20VE swap in a buds G20, but it was actually better than all of the above, he shows up with a rented Armada, and I gotta say the thing sounds mean, iff we could get the Q to sound like that I would be happy as hell, anyway I was expecting the Armada to perform like the Titan but its a bit different, the Armada pulls back more timming right before the shift so it shifts a lot softer, also they lowered the the redline by like 800 rpms, other than that its a fun ride, the interior takes some getting used to, the window switches and door lock buttons rest on a ledge that comes off the top of the door and is kinda in your way, it has the adjustable pedals for the lil soccer moms:) has tons of room with 3 row seating, handles good for a big vehicle, but it did have some sqeaks from all of the damn plastic cubby holes and pockets in the headliner, I only spent a few minutes in it so couldnt really get a more complete feel for the vehicle, plus he had to go home to face his wife:mad: for spending $300 on a rental vehicle.I must add that the exhaust looks great underneath, the pipe appears to be 2 3/4, it is converted into a single pipe right behind the motor, and also the plugs can be changed a lot easier.

That thing is a behemoth. I was exploring one at the dealer when getting my Mom her I35.

It's a little funky looking for my taste, but cool. I sure would hear a lot less

"she's/he's touching me!!!"

from the backseat area with one of those.

Nice! I like Armada, but I love the Titan.
