Mom lives in NC.

Give up yet?

I'll most likely be at the next track event but most likely I'll be sporting a new DSM not a slow ls1. If you want next time I am in tampa with it I'll make sure to let you know. I was in tampa with it about 2 weeks ago and actually met up with some members on the board.

I didn't do anything to you, stop hating on me.

i think BigBads point was that the domestic guys don't require a swap to go fast.

I like cars of all different types American...Japanese...German... doesn't matter. The problem is the drivers. I loathe Domestic drivers that have a superiority complex. The guys that think that since they drive an American V8 they are god's gift to the world and every type of import is a POS slow car.

At least someone appreciates it. Taking a engine that makes 90hp stock and a car that runs 16s from the factory and get it to run deep into the 12s with what the manufacturer provides. I think that is pretty good.

The manufacturer provides nitrous with the car? Saweet. I'll finally buy a honda now.

I respect what you are doing, I just wanted it to be made clear so I didn't make any wrong assumptions/accusations.
