i dont think he hates treadstone. its just the whole no fuel management thing. does it work? obviously. is it safe? well it could be alot safer. theres really no big mystery to the whole thing. treadstone/zpi stage 0 are able to work (so far) because they dont run more than 7 psi. its the same reason you dont "need" a reflash with the s/c to make it work. the only reason tredstone/zpi stage 0 make more power is because of faster spool, and no parastalic drag. so like i said, it can be done, but it deffinetly borders on not being safe. im pretty sure that was his beef.

The Z is alot of fun to drive hands down, but it has NO visibility out the back and no back seats. Take a look at the STI's just go and test drive one and tell me what you think.

^^Thats for sure. Visibility is low. I have those little square smaller mirrors on my stock ones that allow me a wider visibility range.

Yeah, I don't use the rear too often in general, but if you know how to work your side mirrors...leaning in and out of the mirrors I think you should be fine.
