Any asshole with a big dick and a wad of cash can make xyz car with ltz1rls1 etc engine go fast in a straight line for cheap with a nitrous kit - BBB proved that with his land yacht. But owning a Cobra, I can tell you that just gets very old, too quickly. What do you guys do with the steering wheels in these cars?

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fucking temperamental.

theirs always a chance,why?
you want argue with me about weight vs hp in person?so we can be sitting in the parking lot looking at each other in digust how we dont understand each other?
struck nerves?yea,you guys have struck nerves too!but i find arguing with people about something i like fun.but if you find it "nerve racking" then you need to lighten up.
its really simple that an import with the same hp or maybe less but with less weight has beaten a domestic before in the span of time we live in.it doesnt happen all the time mind you but it does every now and then.how you guys cant understand that is beyond me,but hey theres alot of people who think i get on their nerves{pssst i like being right all the time

). To listen to your posts, the only thing imports have going for them is weight, I don't know if that's really a good bragging point, but whatever. I'll probably have the heaviest domestic there, so you have nothing to worry about

This is obviously the neverending question. However I have a solution. Seeing how most of us know each other or at very least know of each other vote in 5 domestics and 5 imports to challenge each other to see what is the best all around. Drag racing, road corse, gas mileage, looks, and all around useability. Admins vote on looks and useability. The rest the numbers can tell us. Basically like the Sport Car Mag challenge. Hell do this once a year just for the fun of it.

What is done to your car? must have atleast 275whp if you are upgrading the fuel pump.
