I love what this guy says about his Pinto Wagon:
I tried to make the car look as stock as possible, to surprise as many "ricers" as possible. I'm tring to beat them at their own game. The way I see it, they think their winged warriors are so fast, but when you blow their "clown" effects right off their car, they cry and say " ... that's because you have a V8..." First of all, that's the easiest and cheapest way to make power and to go fast... you neon light, fairy colored, NASA winged car lover!!! I have a 82 Mustang GT with a mild built 460 big block. The engine came from a 68 Lincoln. Factory it already had 365hp!!! With a short block rebuild and some bolt ons, I'm thinking it's a little over 400hp right now. And do you know how much I have into it??? About 1,500 bucks!!! There is no way that a "ricer" can make over 400hp for 1,500 bucks!!!

I built a 2.3T Mustang awhile back..It was more funny to beat on Semi built or Sprayed V8's than anything cause the car looked like/sounded like shit and they always thought it was a 4cyl terd..I would get a "OMG thats a 4cyl!" after beating them.
