Cost, plain and simple Im sure. You would have to go with a different crank, then the different pan, tank, etc.

Definitely a nice ride.

I like the beefy manual is offered.

Parker, I didn't know of the modes, but my bro told me of the power it was gonna make just a few days ago, u likely read the same info.

And yes, exactly what I was thinkin, expensive oil changes.

As if they're not expensive already.

Time for u to get a STi killer, a ZL1. Know anyone w/. a STi?!?
