My car is a joke, it was a joke when I started building it, and it's a joke now. All my close friends laugh their fucking asses off with me when it goes down the track. It gets funnier every time I take it out, and especially when I see people spending thousands and thousands of dollars to not even go as fast as me, both domestic and import. Hopefully for their sake, I won't ever get serious about this, but then it wouldn't be any fun
Aaron didn't think it was so funny the last track day.
BBB- you upped the pills yet on that land yacht of yours? We gotta run again.
There's the old saying about displacement and I'm sure everyone knows it so I won't say it. Dollar for dollar, mod for mod domestic wins everytime. Simple physics. I'm not a hater, I respect the ET's not what makes the ET. Foreign or domestic. There was an article of a 80's coupe with junkyard parts that went 10's. Scott posted the thread along time ago. If my memory serves me right, the total cost(including car) was under 5-6k. Or how about Steve(aka race495). A coupe w/ 460 and spray = mid 10's. Total cost was 8500$. Can't beat that. -Mark
