i don't like the extra lbs. that my friends might add.... but i do like the way my car looks lower..... 
I get depressed when I have to drive people around in my car. They tend to dirty it all up and put scuffs everywhere.
I never put scuffs on my door panels, but a few eeks ago I take 3-4 people to the airport, they all get out and every goddamn single one of them scuffed my doors!! (bang) (chair)(argh)
Not having a family is a wise decision for me.

Really? I carry people around all the time... I don't have problems with that. What are they opening the doors with their feet?
Keep in mind that it still is a 4 cylinder, and out of boost it will be pretty sluggish. It will take an extra few seconds to get get going because of the weight.
Getting a vette would solve those problems only because it has 1 extra seat.. but ya it will be able to pick up and go better even if that 1 friend weighed 625 lbs. It has weigh more torque down low because it doesn't to boost to get it.
It takes a moment to get into boost without people in the car. I am not saying this wasn't expected... I am just surprised how much a difference 625 pounds makes. It was like driving my old N/A Mazda 3.
I notice how much slower my car is with even one person in it. That's why I don't like anyone getting in my car if I want to drive fast ha.
Now with my system installed, the tires seem to spin easily having to pull that extra weight in the trunk. I want to find a circular piece of stiroform to put in place of my spare and take the spare out

I'm gonna laugh when you come on telling the story of how you blew a tire the day of/day after you removed your spare... I know thats what would happen to me..
And it seats how many?

I know exactly what you mean.....because of a long story I had to drive around with a dormroom full of stuff for a week, as soon as I unloaded her it felt like I had installed a turbo! haha

You definitely don't need to. Even my Ram and 300C turn the compressor off when I flat-foot the loud pedal.

Thats cuz the Vette is a poorly tuned V8 gashog made in america.......hey, wait a minute, has there been a shift in the natural order?(puke)
that is roughly how driving an ms6 feels. if you ever wondered.

yea it's any car...WOT and the AC compressor is dissengaged.
True. Newer cars do that. When I had it out Saturday, I could feel the air get warmer when I was really on the gas.
Ya i noticed a difference even when my 120lbs sister is in the seat, put 3 people in! Forget it, it feels so slow lol.
And I don't really notice any power diference with the AC on, nor does it effect my mileage that much. Still holding an average of 25mpg
