Now I floor it and laugh because it f'ing pulls in 1st gear. to each their own...
Folks who truly understand the mod is typicall who "these people" are. Again it all depends on what you want. Diff mods can and do provide a higher peak in gear acceleration (higher acceleration but for less time in each gear). That will feel good. However, by most metrics and most peoples standard definitions many times they are not "faster" overall, strip nor track. What I don't understand is why most folks are concerned with specs but don't seem to care that certain very expensive mods don't improve these specs. I guess it just shows that to many feel is as important as more concrete results.
