I hope this doesn't turn into something annoying for those of us who save it for autocross and track days.

That must be the program where officers are instructed to pull over anyone with an unpainted bodykit, neon, LED washer nozzles, and "tucked" 19's. You know real performance shit that makes you a "mad tyte" street racer.
Plus if they pop our hoods (not that it's a big issue in NV to begin with) I guarentee the stuff that program will teach them will be useless in decifering what's stock and what's not on a turbo Subaru... our motor's are quite a bit different looking than anything you see in other imports. 'Course, that might work against us... "Holy damn son! You install a turbine in this thing or what? And what's with the extra radiator!?" I think I'm gonna get a giant plastic cover that says "HEMI" just to be safe.
Since most of us have wheels as our most noticeable mods, I think we'll be fine, as long as we save our jackassery for the track.
And no JC, I've got no plans for flames in the near future.
