Oh god... You do know what would happen to you if you were caught going that speed on a public road right? You might as well just kill people for fun, you will get the same amount of time in jail.

Felony speeding is not a bragging right. Keep it on the track, and off the streets. Audi doesn't need that stigma, and you probably wouldn't like spending your life in jail.

But at least he'd be wearing a skirt for easy access in jail.

A kilt is no skirt. They are actually a very traditionally manly piece of kit. I would no wear one every day of course. It is supposed to be worn only in formal attire or in uniform.

He he would be trading his kilts in for an orange jumper. Seriously though, I really hope he doesn't think speeding like that and putting other people's life's at risk is something to be proud of. Those cars he is weaving between contain family's and children. So many people become victims to kids behind wheels who think going stupid fast on public roads is cool

A tune will definitely kill your warranty. Even if you remove it before you have your car serviced, the dealership can tell that it has been there, the TD1 flag is set when the tune is done.

So, your STi wing was not actually "working" if you saw it moving. It was just flexing. Unless Subaru have engineered the wing to be as light and unsupported as the front wing on an F1 car (not a chance!) it will not move at all by design. If properly designed, a rear wing will not flex at speed. In order to apply the downforce to the car, it can't flex. The flexing takes the downforce from the car and translates it into the motion of the wing. Also, if the wing was flexing up and down the side supports were also flexing in and out.
