Talking My Ride Home In My New APS TT!

I posted this thread in the forced induction forum, but I thought I'd post it here since a lot of you may never go there.

It is amazing! The car just pulls strong in every gear. 5th gear pulls like it did in 3rd in my NA car and I would keep shifting out of 6th thinking I could go one more gear up. What a beast!

On my way home through Indiana I got pulled over by a Statey for accelerating too fast out of the toll plaza. I guess he followed me for a few miles waiting for me to take off again but I stayed around the limit without even knowing he was following me. The typical question from him "Why do you think I pulled you over?" I told him I had no clue and he said, "Well you drove out of the toll booth plaza like a bat out of hell!" He took my license and reg. for a few minutes came back and gave me a warning for excessive. Excessive what? Anyway, he went on to ask about my car and how much hp I was running. I showed him the receipt from GRD and that I just got it done. He agreed that if he had this toy he'd run it very hard as well. I offered him a quick ride but he said he had an overnight shift and would have to wait for another time. He said, "Next time you're out, drive it like that when we're not watching". I thanked him for the warning and took off "like a bat out of hell", just kiddin'. Luckily he was pretty cool about it.

I just want to say the car is just awesome. Everything and more than I imagined with the TT. Anyone considering must drive to GRD to get a ride in Tuan's Z or even drive it. It sells the TT by itself.

Congrats on the Kit, and whenever I read a review such as this, TT seems the only option getting next year for myself. How much did everything cost you, tunes, setup, install, and best of luck with your car.

Are the turbos worth the extra money over the Vortec SC?

Figure 9-10K installed and tuned, depending on what you want included.

I haven't driven a Vortec but I didn't want to second guess my decision. So I decided to just go for it.
