[s-cars] My butt momentarily in a BMW

[cody at 5000tq.com]

Not only that, but for under $100 including shipping and not 10  
minutes worth of work you get a 1.0bar wastegate spring to bump the  
930 over 300hp. 425hp is the wastegate spring, a new air filter, and  
new exhaust. 500hp is possible without removing so much as a valve  
cover.

I immagine the G35 is a teensy bit harder to get to catch up ;-).
