The butt dyno says WHOA
Since there's always posts about how much people's cars are sucking and stuff, I figured I'd make one about how great my car is running right now. Yea, I still need to get some bodywork done, I need to get new rims and summer tires, I'd like to redo my interior, I want subframe connectors and now maybe even a stillen kit after seeing Dave's newly RIDICULOUSLY HOT looking car, I need to order my Y-Pipe, I need to get the Redline MT-90 in ther ASAP, the car is crazy caked with salt, etc. BUT...
I got the car up to about 117 for the first time in awhile and the **** is just FLYING. I know what the dynos and experience say about catbacks and HAI's not producing much more power, but I SWEAR I have never felt the car pull above 100 like this. The thing sounds nasty and is just crazy fast. I came out of an awesome highway interchange (128 -> rt 2 for you m*******s) where the H&R/AGX's were in full effect and just stayed WOT through a 3 lane change around traffic and kept going almost to 120. The thing is just ROCK solid.
After I got my suspension done this summer I was too broke and too busy to even get an alignment, so until very recently I had either had a bad alignment or bad tires (they went bald in the front from the lack of alignment). So I am really just starting to be able to really see what the car is capable of now that I have new rubber and a good alignment. Man, I am soooo glad I bought a Max now. I got the new speakers slamming, the car is just *****-a$$ fast...nice. I have a LOOOOOOOOOOT of work to do and a LOOOOOOOT of money to spend over the next couple months, but I feel like I'm really making progress for the first time since I bought the car.

My car runs great, despite the things that I still need to do to it! 
to the max!

Good thread. 
My car is running really well right now too...except for an exhaust leak I get to fix on Tuesday.
New mod added and another on Tuesday...after that my car will scream a LOT more.
I also have an HAI so I am loving the colder air too!!!
