I remember way back when I bought my 96 acr. We were literally making our own preformance parts for it. My friend John took his 97 acr to Capt Nemos and had him swap in a 2.4l and his car ended up in one of the mags. His car was evil!, I remember how hard it was to get used to driving it. I was so pissed when I found out that the 2.4 turbo was coming out becaue at the time I couldn't get one. Now I have one and now I want is my old acr back

ya well reuardless i was just stating that dodges aren't bad but they're not my kind of car and alot of people think they're hard w/ there for the most part stock motor except for a CAI and a fancy 25 cent muffler, if you actually do things to your vehicles then awsome but would ur 3.0 beat a 75 corvette stingray or a 34 ford model t replica w/ a high performance 350 i don't think so but still anyhow i'm gonna get back to work

I wouldn't brag too much on beating a heavy ole FJ body witha 2.4L. I've got a 3.0L version that would make short work of all of the vehicles you have listed. And its still not what I call fast.

Compare my Stratus to a stroked 32? c'mon. But now the vette in 75 was about the slowest model ever built. I beat one 20 years ago driving a 78 Chevy pick up that I use to deliver appliances in. I think they went 15-16 sec. in the 1/4, so yeah I could race that.
BTW if I'm gonna come on here and internet bench race, I'm not gonna use my Stratus, GMC, or some former car I use to have.

Those wrinkle walls off an 80 vette look pretty mean on there, so's you'll prob get me good on a dig. But when that front bra blows off and covers your windshield and you have to brake, I'll get you then.
See you have to be able to do it and have fun with it too.
And a 32 isn't a Model T maybe a 23, but not a 32.
I do admire the fact that you have a 92 Colt that is still running. Far outlasting the normal 7 year life span of most Jap products.
Let me know what the fastest car YOU have ever driven. And then we can bench race some more. I'm old and gots all kinds of stories.

either way the vette is mine the t-bucket is my dads and all i said was I liked my brothers duster he had till the son of the original owner tracked it down and bought it from us, and no i'm not bench racing and if I wanted to use my dads cars i'd bring out his '70 fast back he had b4 i was born or his '56 vette that killed his best friend cuz a drunk driver hit them which is how he got the fastback....or bring out my moms old GTO or something so no i'm not bench racing....i'm just sayin the vettes mine,colts mine,integras mine and the lincoln is mine, t-bucket is dads, maverick is dads, pt cruiser is moms, so reguardless i've had fun in this forum not flamming on anyone but dodge went horrid on tuners....now the colt doesn't take much to be made fast just swap in a mitsubishi 2.0t or a 2.4t and it'd waste any neon or srt-4 out there because of it's weight......that was the plan w/ the colt but instead i decided to keep the colt as a back up incase i don't feel like driving the lincoln while the acura when it's completed is the race car and the vette needs a full brake job so it won't stop LOL
