^ + 1. I just wanted to crack a joke and then people started spouting off stuff and I just had to roll with it. sometimes I wish I coudl trade my V6 Buick in for a nice 4-banger...but unfortuatly any 4-abnget with decent gas mileage couldn't haul around a full sized luxury car...

How long until you rip your car apart to put it in the new setup thats going to run your fastest by the way? I forget the timeline yuo told me of everything you're doing.
Don't hate because I have the option to change my set up as many times as I want. Don't hate that you still drive around in old busted ass cars...What yr is your rustang, and is it running, I don't think so, I remember calling you out and you shut up...so do yourself the same favor in this thread And not saying I'm better than anyone else but I seem to like nice things and my choice of cars is obviously better than yours.

Also I have decided to exit this scene and buy a new car, like John with plastic in the interior Its nice to have a newer fast car with a warrenty... Hell my project car was a 99, what yr is yours

As far as the entire world laughing at me, don't say that I don't think your girl is that big....calling her the world is a little much dont you think.. lol

What I do with my car is for me, not for anyone else, those who build cars to impress others are nothing but entertainment and clowns...Which are you
So laugh on, it means nothing to me

First of you didn't call me out. you called my brothers pickup truck out, and you would've had your ass handed to you by it.

So then, you're just another punk ass skreet racer who has something soooo bad thats gonna wa everyone in the works, and never goes through with it? Get a life.

My project car could've been a 2005 Mustang if I had wanted. I have almost no debt every month and as a result more of a surplus than most people. Did it ever cross your mind that *GASP* I built a Foxbody Mustang by CHOICE?

Also, Your new car isn't going to be 'fast'. NEWSFLASH! 13s are not fast. By the time you make it 'fast' you'll have either voided the warranty or spent like $40,000 at the dealer having options put on it. I'm really sorry to hear that you abandoned your project, I guess you'll simply never have anything fast, will you?

HA HA HA, Your an idiot, do you really want me to dig up the thread where I asked you to run... Your brother couldn't beat a stock Eclipse with an upgraded turbo. To bad the Eclipse was tractionless from a dig O'well. If you want to see the vid of me racing the same Eclipse he lost to from a roll let me know....

Ha ha , your the one bench racing, I challenged you and you shut up, so you get a life. Skreet racer, your a moron, I never had to wax everyone, just slow asshats like yourself that talk talk talk, but still nothing worth listening to ever comes out

ha ha ha, sounds like a punk ass skreet racer.. shoulda woulda coulda here come the excuses..I had a 99 and no dept every month You could have built a 2005 I'm not even going to touch that one I will be working on a 2006 soon and having fun in my new car, either that or assemble the hatch we will see, I have the option to change my mind as many times as I feel

Wow I guess CBRTRX is running imaginary 11's in a stock Evo with a reflash and 80shot, you sir are a moron and should learn your facts before speaking, that way you will speak more intellegently. He spent under $300 for your info and runs faster than anything you probably have... I guess If I will never have anything fast and I offered to run you and you shut up, what does that say about you or anything you will ever own. Sorry but you make no sense and your easily out witted, would you like to take this to pm's or get this post locked......balls in your court

You seem to put all of the foreign cars performance minded cars up there. Put those up against say the Cosworth turbo 4cyl or even the new Focus ST motor (ok it's a 5cyl from a Volvo). Europe has the best 4 cyl in my eyes. American are still into displacement and the Japs like fuel economy.

Also there's only two motors in the poll that have even been used in racing, not GIS or such (correct me if I am wrong).

I'm guessing the eclipse is dario...we ran...it was fun

as for CBRTRX's mods...it's not my car so it's not my place to talk about what it does and doesn't have done
