After some thought, I realized this car won't be a great platform to modify.
Here's my reasoning:
1. For some reason you loose a lot of time off the line due to the computer not opening up the throttle all the way and engaging the tranny, etc. I can't explain exactly what’s happening there because I don't know for sure but the full output of this vehicle is not engaged when you first punch it.
2. This car is so heavy you’re really have to put down close to 500 hp to get this thing to really go and on this power train it's probably not worth the money.
3. Here in Tucson, everything is light to light and you don't usually get up over 50 mph due to the lights being so close together and there are cops everywhere!!!
4. They don't offer this car in a manual tranny which is great for racing because you don't loose as much HP through the power train and you don't have to rely on the tranny to shift.
5. The parts are way to expensive for this car, cat backs for 900 when I could buy a cat back for my mustang for 350. **** that’s just ridiculous.
Don't get me wrong, this is a great car and I'm very happy with the performance and style of my car. My Daytona is going to make a great family car and it's everything I need but in reality this car should have been able to keep up with the mustang from the factory without having to spend 50,000 on an SRT8.
