I should easily be able to get to 275, if not higher. If I can't get to 13.5 using just those mods, I'll start tearing out more of the unnecessary bits to reduce weight.

P.S. - Oh, and I also plan on doing a Barton short throw shifter
The only weight I've gotten rid of so far was when I replaced the stock exhaust with the Borla. I'll also save another 30 lbs when I get my new wheels this fall. I only plan to take mine to the strip a couple times a year so I'm not trying to go all out and strip stuff out of mine. Once I get my S/C or TT I will be between 550-575RWHP and that will be enough for me.

I've had mine to the strip once and had a 12.53 with the mods I have now with the exception of my custom tune. I had the tune done after. I'm not as into racing mine as some people here. I'm more into road courses personally. Once I get everything done (S/C, wheels/tires, BMR trailing arms, adj. toe rods, differential bushings and sub-frame connector I'm going to take mine to Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, CA.

I see what you mean but I was expecting it and I loved the first few GTAs so it doesn't bother me. The only thing different in this than GTA for me is how I play. In GTA I would break any law imaginable but I haven't broken any laws yet on Redemption. I'm trying to keep my honor as a hero since you receive larger bounty payouts and discounts in the store.

The map isn't bad once you get used to it. I usually set a way point to help me get to my destinations. You can also set a way point and then go into your kit and select your campsite to save. When you do, it will give you the option to quick travel to your destination, if it's a place you have previously visited. If you aren't worried about a bounty being placed on your head then you should hogtie a saloon girl and dump her on the train tracks. When the train runs her over you'll get an achievement. I did it one night after I was finished playing and had saved my game. That way I wasn't worried about the bounty or loss of honor in case someone witnessed it.
