Arpad-m knows me pretty well. My powertrain is indeed stock right now. I cannot drag race that well anymore if at all because of a work injury that left my left leg with nerve damage hard to launch a car and is also why my car is a 10 speed instead of a manual. (I do miss the manual but my car is still fun) Basically what I do with my car is take it to where I need to go like appointments etc and for fun I take it on curvy twisty roads and have even done some autocrosses with it. While it is not driven with snow or salt on the road when the roads are clear it is my primary so I do need to be able to drive it in below 32 degrees so it is why I am looking for all season performance tires. After I replace the battery despite it still being ok at a little over 500 CCA. I do want to have more fun with the car and eventually take it to tail of the dragon.
Maybe down the road I might modify the car and bring it up from the stock 455 hp too.
