Ok, friend is telling me that the most interesting part in the states IS the highest peak because of local laws (you don't have a autobahn, most ppl just look for the numbers).

As far as a few forummembers tell, tuning seems to be different in our countries because of local laws and possibilities (you don't have a TÜV and can stick together whatever you want).
