Reliable because whats the point if it breaks all the time
Cheap because I did it cheaper than it could have been done
And I will say fast also because it's not as slow as a stock setup
See what I mean about it all being relative, you think you're fast, I am faster than you and I think I'm slow

True. But I only said I'm fast compared to being an "all stock setup" . I'm faster than your "stock" setup .
So whens the spray going on my car I want to help you feel slow lol.

Fast and reliable, but it should say "quick" and reliable for me. My car's not fast, just decently quick.

i chose "Fast and Reliable" too. when i was working on my hatch i wanted to buy good parts and keep it reliable so i wouldnt have much downtime on the car being it was my daily driver. and like regina said though.. it wasnt fast but it was quick.


oh and wheres the "Fast and Furious" option?

I said fast and reliable even though in relation to some other cars, Chevrolet motors are cheap. The 460hp 383 stroker I'm putting together may only cost me around $3500-$4000 to build, but I think it's going to be a reliable 460hp.

Fast and cheap. What the hell good is a car if it's not fast? And what the hell good is a car if it never breaks? You can't learn anything about it if you're not wrenching on it all the time.

.......unless it's a daily driver. I'd like my car to be a bit faster, but I need a daily driver first.

lol @ drdirt. i would build it fast and reliable if given the option. unfortunately i'm a broke college kid, so cheap is just about the only one i can accomplish.

reliable and cheap. 'fast' costs too much.
