Moneywise. I put the RB RamAir and Aftermarket airbox in my 8 and I really didn't notice much of an improvement. So I pretty much stopped. I figured if I really wanted more power I would either a) get a turbo or b) get a different car that has more HP.

money wise lets see. about 3k in power mods. about 400 in suspension. hids 120. wheels were 1800. 5-6k worth of mods. but you have to look at the power mods i have done which is just about everything. i get a really good gain on just about all bolt ons cbe was like 4 so it was pointless. inlet was about 7 so pointless but really cheap and i can hear the turbo spool soo much more. but like everything has given a huge gain so to say. my mid range is rediculous when i put something on huge gains there. and peak gains are still really good too.

for instance the down pipe. 16 peak hp. mid range area i saw 30 hp in some spots and tq the same.

Well, yeah...you are doing turbo mods, so you probably get a lot more gain than NA get. I wish Maz would come out with a turbo Renesis. ;p

yes that would be sick if they'd release a speed version of the 8. yeah money goes way further on a turbo car than na car.

there is already a speed 8. but its not turbo charged. infact its only got about 20more hp, runs much leaner *thank god*, has gauges in the center of the dash, and had the speed body kit. O and its right hand drive, cause u can only get it in japan.

I've onl seen 1 up close, when i was in hawaii 2 years back....pretty sick considering its not much faster.
