LOL > > As in the credit card commercials, "priceless." > > Patrick Based on the dyno, i'm thinking I picked up close to 20 HP.... ever bit helps on my way to a 12.9! LOL! And you are right the Flex was absolutely silent with the stock exhaust... I simply couldn't take it anymore! LOL! Best part is my 5 and 7 year old daughters LOVE the new sound! After I put it on, I had the girls in the Flex... I accelerated rather spiritedly from the stop light. Both girls shouted out with glee, "Dad! You added VROOM VROOM!!!" LOL! They love the Flex too! They are always telling me, "Do the EcoBoost! Do the EcoBoost!" as for humiliating... Well, a couple of guys showed up a the local track and apparently were unaware that the track require EVERYONE to wear a helmet, so they ended up renting some from the track... Guessing it was probably their first time at a track... Well, eventually I timed it right and got to lined up against the guy with a 4.6 S197 Mustang... Blew him off the line and proceed to run a 13.4 to his 14.2! I watch the guy as we pull back into the pits... He parks his car... gets out... and the walks over and turned his helmet back in... he was done... LOL Can't wait until the tracks open in April!!! |
