I have to say, I am seriously considering it. I want to wait and see what the dyno numbers and tuning support are like before committing for that kind of cash, but if it really does put out over 500 whp like they think it will, I will likely bite. I like the fact it is a hybrid solution that appears stock and is compatible with the aftermarket parts I already have.

I just think the prospect of a 500 wheel horsepower X1 is ridiculously awesome. Car would low-mid 11s 1/4 mile with 500whp.
Sadly no, I have no intention of doing any significant modifications. I did some very modest mods to my last car and it had a never ending litany of things going wrong with it. I can't afford to have my DD (and only car for my wife and I) in a shop somewhere.

One day I'll get a project car to do fun things with on the side, but not today.

Good luck though!
