My hands are free now, lol. A stock c6 z06 with mickeys will hand any Subaru on these boards its ass in a race, straight line or not lol. Unless there is a 10 sec Subie that is anorexic and has severe aero work done that i'm missing, lol

And even if you had a 10 sec Subie, the z06 could then spend $600 and throw a 150 shot on...lol. Anyone thinking of investing that much money in a subie just for grins and giggles and not advertisement or business either a) has lots of $$$ and doesn't care about wasting it or b) has lots of money and doesn't mind wasting it ...lol or c) has lots of money and has a z06 already

LD where is the $42k in mods in your car? Do you have 14k gold coilovers and a briefcase full of hundreds under your seat?

thanks Joe, atleast theres one other person on this forum that understands that a Subaru is probably the most rediculous candidate to build a drag car with. It cost 10x as much to make half the speed as in a z06 or basically any other car, haha. its also kind of ironic that were both at the strip the most trying to pull every last .01 out of our cars, .

BTW, hows everything coming along with your build right now? havnt seen your car or talked to ya since we had the last subie meet out @ BMP when you were pulling low 12's i believe with stock turbo.

well, I just had a baby so it's been really crazy. I got most of my setup complete, I am just waiting on when I have the time to drop the car off to have the Up, downpipe, and IC piping fabbed up. I am waiting on UR to respond on possibly jumping on sponsoring the car as well. We will see though. Either way I need to hurry it up.
