Yo cojones:

Interesting/funny idea about increased hp from reduced weight, but I'm sure you know it doesn't compute so linearly. Only proper direct testing will show the results.

BTW, regarding my recent Tubi order from Tino, my wife asked why it costs so much (~$1,700) "...to make the car sound loader?" I explained that our NSX is a world-class, exotic sports car with an OEM exhaust that doesn't do justice to the superior engine performance or to our experience driving it, and that it now sounds like a cross between a sewing machine and an electric lawn mower! She seemed to get it.

I really don't mean to be sexist here, but I guess this mod stuff is mostly a guy thing...., although yesterday I did see a young woman on SpeedVision's car mod show, who was bragging about smoking guys in her incredibly modded car. My 18 year old son understood my purchase without an explanation. Maybe I'll report back later on my wife's impression of our noisier NSX...
