This is getting insane.. Soon we'll all be driving prius's and won't be allowed to upgrade the battery pack to the new improved energizer one for mad power gains as Toyota will of convinced the EPA it's bad for the environment so we have to keep using theirs.

I wonder if the GT HO comes out with a cooler,if it will pass. Honestly dont know how they pass noise tests standard as they are loud as fark.

No oiled filters is the worst part, do they even make performance dry ones?

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 18y 8m Posted 26/01/12 08:24 AM Posted 26/01/12 08:24 AM That would make sense,but fark me,what about when they punch the pedal haha.

Will be going for the standard look next time.Not wrong Dre getting harder and harder. The cops know what to look for now, not as stupid as they once were.Both correct. New cars have to pass a million test to be "legal" so it only makes sense that what companies go through shouldnt be thrown out the window as soon as its bought.Bit harsh/unfair maybe yes, but then if you want a faster car.....buy one. If you cant afford it. Bad luck.No one wins wither way sometimes with modded cars (unfortunately) hence the rules.....(been there before and never again) Edited 26/01/12 08:30 AM by CBXRT
