No real performance mods, cat-back exhaust, wheels and tail lights. Here's the last set of dyno runs done after the dealership fixed what they broke, fixing the car. This was to verify it was back to where it should be. On this dyno 370/372.

If I'm checking a car to see what performance differences any real mod has made, I would prefer to keep as many constants under my control as possible for getting numbers. As you well know, track conditions can vary from day to day and most folks who go to a track don't run their cars in the same configuration(s) as they drive it on the street. Change tires, lower tire pressures, higher grade fuel, lighter loads, etc to get the best possible times. That's fine and all but it kinda skews how the car's performance is in a DD / street configuration.

The good thing about running at the track is you get to run the car, legally , and practice launches. Of course I would never run my car at a track as that could be considered abuse by a dealership to use to deny my warranty, and we wouldn't want to see that happen.
