Will this make my car go faster?

This looks like I may get a power increase if installed, what do you think?

How could covering your car with little lights not make it go faster and look better? It’s guaranteed!

At a minimum it will make you look like even more of a blur as you speed by someone at night!

Who entered the one star rating? Good job, I will enter another one right after this post.

Now for another question...will 24" gold spoked rims fit on an '84 Carrera? Where would I find rims like these? I've tried calling Shaq, but he won't accept my phone calls.

I have a client that's been working like slaves to bring some truly useful and innovative applications of Gallium Nitride technology to the market. This is just depressing. I hope they never see this.

No. It's a well-known fact in the world of autocrossing that only red engine parts make your car go faster.


I'll soon be marketing a new line of red engine paint.

The lights are really inexpensive, but the cost of the extension cord would be pricey!!

By the way...Hey Noah, why did you move this thread to off topic? It IS Porsche related.

Vinyl adds horsepower.
Neon lights add torque.

Where have you guys been?
