I spent the weekend in Houston for a wedding. My cousin bought a 2014 GT used a couple months ago that I didn't know about till I got there. The car has an intake of some kind, axle-back, 75 shot of nitrous, and a dyno tune. He is also on 15" drag radials. On motor it makes 386 RWHP and with spray it makes 448RWHP. He has only been to the track once and ran a 12.6 at 116MPH (with that trap speed I think he could drop a couple tents with more practice) Wish I wouldn't have driven it. Makes me think something is wrong with my car because with nitrous it just feels crazy fast. Even when not spraying, it feels significantly faster than my car. I think a lot of it is the tune making the throttle map touchiest than my factory tune. But still.....damn. I'm kinda disappointed now.

Need to line up with another guy with a stock S550 and make sure my car isn't running way off of what it should.

If you were riding in the passenger seat, it always feels faster.

Honestly, a 2015 with those mods and a 75 shot would do 120+ all day. My fully loaded pp went 12.2 @116 with similar mods minus the juice, and 20" R888's which are sticky tires but definitely not like a 15" drag radial.

Edit: just noticed you said you drove it...

I know the owners of Red Star in Lebanon, so either place I'm sure would do a dyno day.

Finally caught an idiot on my dash cam. Just watch how this moron in the white Dodge Stratus exits the 40 at Spence Lane!! Watch it in 1080p.

eh, nothing abnormal there except the taking of the shoulder. It wasn't even necessary

I know a dyno is really just a tuning tool but id like to have a good baseline on my car. Plus it would be fun. I'm in for whatever we can put together.

I also am trying to find out some info for the Shelby guys from David to see if we need to have two separate orders for us vanilla owners vs shelby owners due to time frames.

[MENTION=7394]DarkSubRosa[/MENTION], Will a CAI void my warranty?

 

[DarkSubRosa]

Technically unless they can prove that the specific part was the issue it's not really voiding the warranty. Now if you get an intake that requires a tune, yeah, a tune pretty much throws the warranty out the window. Now it's only the engine though so if something like, say your AC goes out, that's still covered.

Where's your car? Has it left the factory yet?
