    been stationed in germany for 2 years and been all over the country and the autobahn. the turns are exactly just like the ones in the states... no more than 1/8 of a wheel turn, give or take. the road imperfections are the same, if not a little worse. there's patches, pot hole, humps, ditches all over the place. you're mostly correct about the water run off though. a little bit less of it than highways in the states.

    Good call. Here's two to make up for it. Note, however, that these also do not perfrom well at 95 mph.

    I am sure you mean kph, which is only 74.57 mph. I assume this is only on roads with a 75 mph limit.

    I think OP realized TW is not for him, his two threads have gone comical in record time.

    Seriously OP, don't drive fast on the streets, 95 in a Tacoma is clearly not real bright. Have you tested out the ABS system by the way?

    One of my scariest memories was stopping just short of a crosswalk full of kids driving my mustang home from school (20+ years ago). It still sobers me when I think about it today, I would have taken out at least half a dozen people. Not something you want to have to live with for the rest of your life knowing how you affected so many peoples lives in such a bad way.

    They make a carbon fiber insert that looks awesome on the scoop. It's very expensive.

    As for making this a ram air intake, it won't happen.. Look at a cold air intake that sits in front of your radiator.. Just be careful of water.

    No one really explained the whole negative air pressure thing.

    Where the scoop is positioned, the air that hits the grill, flows over it and hits the windshield. Thus the area in which the scoop is positioned is a negative air pressure area. Air is sucked from it. not rammed into it.

    I didn't read the part about the closed course, but seriously dude, I was all about pushing limits when I was younger, but now that I'm older, I understand the post about that guys dad. You don't understand, or care, that you could mess up someones life in a blink of an eye.

    There is a time and place for everything.

    The street is never the time or place.
