Did anyone else notice the alarming check engine light that came on and stayed on for the entire video? You can see it very clearly at 2 minutes and 16 seconds. This is why I'm a little scared of big power kits like this one. MTM also made that BIMOTO TT which, when they tried to test it on Top Gear failed several times. I give them ALL THE CREDIT IN THE WORLD for their design, but bad marks for reliability. But I suppose if you have more than $100,000 to spend on a car, reliability isn't really an issue.

I think the CEL is on because it's in R&D stage. I am sure they are not going to release a Supercharger Kit for a 70K+ car that will throw a CEL everytime[8D]

Holy ****. I turned up my speakers and my sub made the entire room vibrate when the car was idling...don't even get me started on the supercharger whine. Anyone else think what they did under the hood could have been a little more...elegant? All that plain metal did not convey the awesomeness that it produces. Same with the hood scoop...the peeps at MTM know how to engineer, but not how to make stuff look nice. [&:]
