My Ride: A Car faster than yours.....

Guys, its a neverending story. Its just that this time there is no long white dragon. In the end, its up the consumers to decide which works for them regardless of test results. AFE's intake systems are based on improving airflow over the stock intake system. Most people believe that improving airflow will result to more power. Others believe that improving airflow but increasing IATs wont do any good. Our method is to put more air into whats already a cold air intake system from the factory. Two different methods from two different companies.

I was told by member BMWRINO that he still has the AFE intake and will challenge any stock car or RPI scoop-equipped car to a pink slip race.

He said your M5 and 996 TT are not worthy opponents. Call him when you get something faster.

Now the question becomes what's the better show to watch:
1) What happen when RPI and AFE go head-to-head?

2) What happens to guy when Tony finds out who EuroCarHam is?

My $$$ is on #2 - better show
