Of course you'll get worse MPG because you'll be listening to the engine hahaha

I know he says he didn't change his driving habits, but he also said it sounds great meaning he's hitting the gas! Too each his own......if someone wants more noise typically they could careless about MPG. I hope nobody bought a boxster for it's great MPG.

Usually less air doesn't mean more fuel to compensate. Less air means less fuel. Most computers have a set a/f ratio and when it starts to get less air it won't run rich to over-compensate... it will simply add less fuel and result in a loss of power.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
