Last night was the first time I got to drive my Max with this config: 18" wheels, 100lb sub in the rear, and 3 full-sized passengers; Talk about slow! Anything could've probably beaten me last night. Man, I need an s/c.

Actually, it probably is a little more like 50-65lbs. Sorry, got a little excited. With no one in my car it feels so much more sporty. But, that would be defeating the purpose of why I got it in the first place. So, there's only one thing to do...
I feel the 18's help me launch better though because I can rev a little higher before I let her rip. Maybe I'm just trippin'. I know they slow me down. It's so damn hard for me to get a really good launch. And now because of the increased traction my Max seems to roll more through corners. I can't wait 'till my Koni's arrive next month. I'm sure those plus Eibachs, and the RSB will help.

BTW, I wasn't complaining at all just noticing the huge performance difference with extra weight in the car. Sucky! Did I just write sucky?
