Reason You Thought Your Setup Was The Best Choice For Your Needs
I wanted Power and I wanted it to be dependable. I feel I got both with my setup. Also I feel safe driving it long distance with less mantainance and its easy on my money. On the road The car performs well and doesnt give me any issue ever since the setup was completed. I mean, why have allot of power on a luxury car if its always breaking down or always draining your wallet?
What Kind Of Person Do You Think Your Setup Is Ideally Suited For?:
I Think this setup are for people who wants to have a bigger push then just stock supercharged yet easy on their wallet. Who would want to complain with 300 hp at their comand?
