Default Wife beater

Picked up an 07 AWD TBSS (3ss package) for the wife last week. She is stock other than electric fans and a tuned trans, full weight, full tank of gas too. Loving it, very nice ride. We took both SS's to a warehouse lot just to play around for a minute, both knowing the outcome. Just did a 0-60ish just to see where her AWD was at from a dig. No need gong any faster against my Camaro. Needless to say, its a damn slug from a stop. Hoping a stall will at least get the TBSS down to a 1.8 60'. Not really planning on extensive mods, just the ones that count. Anyway, here's a really bad cell phone vid of it. Gave her the go obviously.Click directly on the title at the top of the vid to watch. Won't work otherwise for some reason.

No idea what is up with the vid. Uploading it again..but if you click on the title of the vid, it plays. Clicking directly on the play button, nothing. Anyway, I'll get it right.

Uploaded again. Can't get it to work right. Click directly on the title at the top of the vid. Should work that way.

Not even a road, lol. More like a long parking lot/loading area! Really didn't need anymore road than that to see where the TBSS is in relation to mine or what mods it needs asap.

Sold it back to the dealer we bought it from. Turns out that car had a LOT of previous damage that was not on the carfax when we bought it. Basically, the dealer bought it on auction and sold it to us before the info had a chance to be reported. So we got out of it.

Just had a full tune done on the TBSS this morning. HUGE difference! Its chirping the front tires on launch, no lag anymore, etc. You can clearly see the lag in the vid when she gets on it from a dig. Thats gone and the thing just pulls better everywhere now. Gotta get a rematch against my car just to compare..I'll attach the new vid to this thread once we get it done.
