<div class="bbWrapper">i was about to get on the interstate today and I thought i&#039;d have a little fun getting on the on-ramp, which was at a 90 degree angle to the road I was on. I wasn&#039;t REALLY pushing it, but I went a lot faster around the turn than a person normally would. It was fun, but the best part was when I looked in my rear view mirror and saw a guy driving a Neon with &quot;boosted&quot; on his license plate try to match what I had just done. He nearly went off the road and had to swerve to get back. It was hilarious lol! He later went zooming by me with his turbo, but my P5 killed his car going around that turn (first)</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">haha thats whats up, i have to find a track around here so i can take mine</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Imagine what it feels like with all the upgraded suspension parts =)</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">stock p5 suspension is great, but be careful out there. lets keep the moves on the track boys and girls. opening her up on the road might be fun, but taking our car to the track takes it to another level, not to mention its a lot more safe!</div>

Cant wait to feel the difference going from a stock suspention to having all those!</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">i think front sway bars are a PIA to install , like you have to drop the sub or stg like that. Most people only do rear sway bar</div>
