We already know that the auto max shifts before max HP is reached, so what good is 5 more? I know its spread thinly across the powerband, but really.. whats the point? Just wondering. Although I havent heard any discussions about whether the AE is faster, which is a good thing as it would be a pretty moot discussion I guess.

Probably NOT
Since the AE has:
body kit
heavier sill plates
Heavier rear view mirror
Heavier engine cover
more wires and gadgets (steering wheel radio controls)
probably heavier muffler
metal pedals
Heavier shift ****
More stitching in the floor mats
Another heavy badge on the trunk
It is probably a wash with the extra five HP....maybe even slower. They do make up some weight with the perforated POS leather seats though! :P

like MOBOY said, a lot of extra add-ons on the AE, it'll probably make the car even slower, especially with new the body kit and LSD device.

Yes and No... it is heavier... but you get beeter traction with the LSD... better launches and cornering .... trust me if you have ever driven a car with a LSD you will know what I am talking about... you just floor it in a turn and let the tires bite and pull you trough.... It's awsome.

My deepest apologies to those to deserve it
First off... sorry I don't hound the threads and I forgot to look at the date.
I was simply looking for an explanation of the AE max....
here is the link to my post....
lol sorry I bumped it. i'll look at dates next time more closely.
not really sure where you're headed with that, but I do not lack a brain in any sense. thanks for a being a jack@$$
j/k
sorry that i'm a n00b but @ least I'm learning. .
my post didn't have a lot except that the car I had didn't have lsd and the AE does... so i'm figuring out what the differences are
Not blaming the car. sorry you don't know the whole story, but it was on a curve and would have helped i'm pretty sure....
SO sorry I stirred all this up and will someone close this thread?
My apologies
