took the p5 to the track

well took the p5 to the track sat and was a bit surprised. The first 2 runs i made were 17.00's then me and my buddy took the hood off and ran a intake tube that set on the front headlight to my surprise the car went 16.67. i was like wow slow but a nice improvement. next pass did a burnout ran again went 16.42@81. nice little improvment for messing around and other than the ricer intake the car is stock do you guys think its possiable to get into the 15s with the same ghetto setup and header, intake, and ecu Thanks

get some lighter wheels those look like MP3 wheels and those biotches are heavy! but that plus some other mild weight reduction and a header and cat back could net u a 15

it will be very hard without a good deal of expensive work to get into the 15s naturally aspirated on this car. one person claimed to have done it with removal of the AC system, which is possible i suppose
