ya, i think it has only 10 more hp (old hp rating system is 270 vs. 260) and i think our car wieghs 500 lbs more? plus the auto tranny, so u think a cai and headers may do it? how about pulleys, bec i heard we can pull the 6mt tl in 2nd bec of the drive by wire throttle, so would more of a low end punch make up for the 6mt high end?

Also make sure you have drained all but the necessary gas to go racing and to the closest gas station, remove all heavy items such as spare tire, jack, etc., and turn off all unnecessary electronics such as headlights, stereo, climate control, etc.

I think that he got the 300hp from the BS rating that is used sometimes. Its not used by car manufactures, just by the owners.

headers don't fit on a 3G apparently, at least no one has made any that will. I am sure there will be in a year or two. right now if you get I/H you should beat a 3G 6MT and crank pulley will not urt your cars reliability at all(UR only here).

i think by 300hp PenancE meant that because of the 6mt it was like if the 5AT actually had 300hp... so for a 5AT TL(-S) to beat a 6MT it will need around 300hp... i think that's what he meant... it'S a way to see it..

My car rides like new now - so if you have a lot of miles on your stock struts, just replace the struts when you put on new springs and you will be much happier. I recommend the Tokico blues if you dont expect extreme conditions and want the ride to be near stock-like. If you want something more high performance - get the Tokico Illuminas (they are adjustable) or the Koni Yellows.

Hope that clears it up...I don't think the curb weight will make much difference.
