I have a stock svt snorkel and airbox with a drop-in. Better than a cai on a zetec anyway.

I doubt anyone could tell I changed out the intake just by looking at it but I don't want to be douchey.

+1

I get "a plan" pricing. Thinking i might buy one in 2013 after they work out the kinks and we find out we're not getting an RS in the U.S.

FB post is best

Also for Ken, if you've never raced before i'm sure your not going to be competitive in anyclass anyway so putting your self in a stock class will probably be ok provided its not super obvious you have mods that take out of that class

Honestly I think you'll still be fine. you aren't gaining hardly anything and SVTF's get to run the same stock class as stock ZTS's

plus unless you're some sort of mystical Aryton Senna you aren't likely to be competitive your first couple races. come on out, run stock class and have fun dodging cones with the rest of us nerds.
