Mike: if you ever need maintenance / troubleshooting work done on it, you do know that Yoshiya @ NeptuneSpeed is a GENIUS when it comes to 2nd Gens, right? His track car is a 2nd Gen that puts out like 400 hp.

Just something to think about

zumn: what size wheels?
make sure the tires are compatible so you don't end up with two sets.

Zumn: if you buy 255/ ? / 20 and then get 19" wheels, you'll have spent all that money on the Neo Gens for nothing because they won't fit your new setup.
how about putting some cheap *** tires on there now till you get new wheels?

Just trying to figure out how to get you tires now (since yours are toast) and save you money in the long run.

5mpbs is MORE then enough for most people, me included.
I just threw out the FIOS numbers cus I was over at my GF's last night and that's what she has at her house, I was freaking amazed when I set my laptop to download the new Top Gear and it downloaded the entire episode in 16 minutes.
