go to a driver education course and learn how to really drive on the track. I did and I was able to transfer this "mod" from my Audi to the TL.

people here will tell you to upgrade your car. I am telling you to upgrade yourself.

Great suggestion (and smart switch )

As for mods, why didn't you do a search, first? there's PLENTY you can do, starting with an intake and ending with whatever you decide... If you're lazy, here's a few quick hits to get you started- Cold air intake, pulleys, headers, exhaust

Have fun!

No time for a track day????

Its only one day! Well, one day at a time, then you bring the spouse one time, then the neighbor, then a test day for tires and other mods, it never stops.

The upside is you can learn to see ahead and predict/avoid accidents- all that track training really does transfer. Smooth driving helps mileage too, and the ever popular- sucker the tailgater into the corner deep- late brake and gone!!! while they are trying to gather the car back up



After my first track day many years ago, I went home thinking "how did I manage to survive the drive here this morning- I thought I could drive- now I see I am just starting to really look at the road"

out of all of the mods i specially like the free one (removing the spare), but thanks for all of the sugestion i will consider them. you guys think we can put all the receipts as tax deductable or is it asking for to much, we can say that is for working purposes. How it makes us look and feel good so will be working harder or hardly working

I feel that the UR Pulley offers the biggest gain for any single performance mod (well, besides the supercharger).
