I guess it's been too long since I've had my stock L36, I didn't remember it being as slow as that.

I guess that's a nice video to compare with

Mike, does your car do 2,500 RPM at 80 MPH stock? And that was WOT? Well, at least you don't have a speed limiter like me at 107 MPH!

Thanks to that 2.84 gearing in my car, it only does 2,000 RPM at 80 MPH, and takes a 2nd gear down shift at 78-80 MPH. But because of that stupid speed limiter, I can only get to 4,000 RPM on 3rd gear when it hits the Speed Limiter, so I never get a 3-4 shift at WOT. I wish that speed limiter was gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol FBI is fun. And I like the video lol, no commentary though? Such a boring showoff :P
And the pickup sounds great. What will it take me to persuade you to get some proper fender flares???
