Yes most RPI scoop owners say that their car feels a bit stronger when at speed (that is, when the ram air effect gets going).

Well, down here in South Florida, I can always open her up beyond the recommend speed of 70 mph. Most people drive close to 80 mph and cops pass you doing even more. Fastest I've taken her up to is 140 mph. My car was still pulling and felt very smooth. Should be better once I change the tires and wheels.

I know, I have driven I-95 near Miami many times and I have been passed frequently when doing more than 90. I love that!!!!

Yeah, I missed the Miami meet the other week, but I hope to 1) find a nice BMW shop for mods, etc. and 2) meet up with some of the guys. It's funny that I never noticed the 5 series until I got mine. Now I see them everywhere down here.

Happens with every car I have ever owned. Once I get it, I see them everywhere. Which is probably why I have never left one stock - again, I like different.
