Sadly no paper was thrown

I know that was a problem that Jeff didn't have. As crazy as this sounds, the cars can be "even" but it all depends on the type of courses

Here in SoCal we do have more of power courses compared to speed maintenance. That is where the twins truly shine

I am in stx but thanks. I struggled on the left course. 12th. loved it though.

Come on...

Time to throw some decals on the BRZ.
I'm thinking turbo, NOS, etc.

I'm thinking a Cobb sticker, even though they refuse to make anything for the BRZ since it's not boosted.

[vroom4]

More likely because they are too busy rolling in the cash from the GTR crowd.

[G_Ride]

Cobb at one time had APs for the 06+ Impreza 2.5i. The HP gains per dollar on Imprezas wasn't great, and the AP was the same price as the AP for the WRX/STI. Cobb didn't sell many and gave up non-turbo cars.

[Kido1986]

Tunes do much more than provide peak numbers but selling to the average "tuner" crowd is difficult when you can only advertise 10-13HP gains for $800. Idiots just see the numbers and run and that's the crowd Cobb sells to

I'll have a full report + info from Wilmington late tonight, but does anyone suspect this might be C-Street legal?

Seems like their plan is to meet the minimum sales quantity of 1,000, unless it gets specifically bumped or put on an exclusion list, it should be legal... wonder how much stiffer the new spring rates are

...at least the article made no mention of a wider wheel yet, and the pictures still show the same wheel/tire combo of the launch cars.

FWIW, they wont be legal nationally until 2015.

I honestly don't expect this to be classed in the same street as the base twins. So if that's what you mean, than no, I'd guess B street.

I thought strut tower brace is illegal for us in Street?

[Kido1986]

It is illegal. Im sure some local groups are fine with a very minor illegal mod like this. Tower braces do very little in actuality. They are more for the looks than anything.

I agree, but don't dare say that in the suspension forum. They have graphs.
