Default Factory Mods

Picking up an RC F next week, any talk of a factory supercharger or other engine mods that won'the void the warranty? Seems that with less than 100hp / liter, a Toyota engineered V8 has a lot more potential. I'm replacing a 2007 M6 V10 w/ 500hp and for no good reason I really want at least 501. I would also like to beat M4's every time. Thanks.

Factory supercharger . . . Love that one!

If you wanna beat M4, start with unsprung weight. Get some extra light wheels, light brake disc and suspension parts, remove cat, add light weight exhaust and then proceed to rip out the interior and everything that it is not welded on and replace driver's seat with a cf racing seat. Put that bad boy on a diet.

going to be very tough to beat one in a drag race. Have a better chance on a road course.

Factory "mods" are called options. If you didn't see it when you ordered your car, it's not going to be available.
