its not that big of a change LOL...

the Ridge was a car with a bed teaser. I only bought a truck to be able to transport my motorcycle when needed. but then i stretched my bike and it no longer fit.

I am more of a sedan type of guy anyway. and my IS was actually cheaper than my Ridge too LOL.

anways.. the mods are being strategically planned as we speak.

I was actually looking to get an 08. and they first place I was looking at actually sold it out from under me . so the next car that came in was mine.. and it happend to be an 09 at 08 price...

but the power difference is nothing a little boost cant handle

ps i have something else to take care of my speed/adrenaline rush.

that bike is nice and so is the price of an 08 for an 09 but a simple "boost" wont make it go from 204 to 306 or a 0 - 60 in 8 secs to 0 - 60 under 5...

sorry to beak your bubble

just FYI

just FYI[/QUOTe

I've had a supercharged Integra Type-R featured in Superstreet ,a Turbocharged Integra LS, 2 Del Sols with Motor Swaps, and an NSX on the bottle, so I have been around the block on "tuning"

if I work it right.... I am sure I do more than 306 , but I am not looking for THAT much out of this car. Just a little something more...
