it aint a base. i saw the motor myself. even if he was sandbaging. which he wasnt off the line. it is still win. and my truck would smoke a stock sti all day long if i didnt have traction issues. there is something about having over 400rwhp in a truck that has 900lbs over the back axles that makes me loose traction in even rainy weather. let alone if i gun it off a light.
