You're just jealous that your car doesn't Zoom-Zoom.  :rolleyes:

Who needs to zoom-zoom when you're "AWWWWWWWWESOME"?

so on my way home from work i'm cruising on a pretty empty 4 lane doing about 65 mph and see and Audi A4 3.0Q (or whatever the V6 model is) and a G35X behind me apparently racing as they were weaving in and out of what little traffic there was... The A4 which was in the other lane starting pulling on the G35X.

With a slight smile I waited until the A4 got within a few car lengths, then popped the clutch, raised the revs to about 6500, and popped my car into 3rd gear and gunned it.  The A4 went past by a car length as it was going faster then me, but I quickly whooped his ass by the end of third gear and backed off as we hit some traffic, then went back to 6th gear and started cruising again.... bwahaha

thought so too... mabye there is a difference though if its a manual 3.0 A4 vs a slushy G35X?  or maybe the 3.0 was packing some upgrades as it did look rather nice

Here's the Governator doing a very wacky Japanese ad.

And there's more Governator goodness in the related column like this one.

They seriously just go on and on.

Actually it's very interesting that all these actors do wacky ads in foreign countries but refuse to do them here to avoid the bad stigma.  I remember when I went back to China, I saw Arnold's huge face plastered all over the place for various products like cell phones and varous beverages.

I would say that it's because they LOVE America and don't want to make us watch those freaky commercials.  ;)

I had red ones in my Mustang that I hardly ever turned on.

To be honest, a lot of the higher end makes now offer interior ambient lighting: BMW, Acura, MB, Lexus. Hell, changeable coloured lighting is being used as a selling point for the new Focus.

What do you do, it's becoming a trend I guess.

lol... its a Cobb AccessPORT ecu flasher

So i can flip between different ecu maps for power, economy, valet (low redline!), and a security map (turns fuel injectors off).  In addition it lowers the threshold for the radiator fans to turn on and increases the amount of oil injected into my engine for reliability.  Power increase is 5-10% which would be 10-20 rwhp.  The tuner I bought mine through also throws in maps for use if I want to go turbo or supercharged!

It can also check CEL's, reset CEL's, disable CEL's, view live data from a bunch of sensors in the car, and get performance numbers like 0-60 and quarter mile times.

I thought about it, but they looked kinda weird and its not shown in this pic - but the gauges backlight blue with the doors open or headlights on.... so it goes with them

I only paid a few bucks for them (just a couple led's)... I thought they were a bit much at first, but they have really grown on me and everyone thats seen them wants me to hook them up with some... lol
