Wrapping my roof tonight

And I'll take my SC over a turbo.Seems that Turbo L61's can't handle boost on stock internals.But my Stock internal'd L61 loves the SC
She's my lil factory freak.

215/45/17 tires. I'm going to slam it, not cambered out. but just a nice aggressive flush stance.

And I'd like to add to the boost convo. I want to boost mine next year....but nobody has solid tune for it, especially the 2.2 LAP auto. So I'm in no hurry. i don't need the extra HP so bad that I have to deal with my car running like a piece of ****.
