yea the guy down the street has boosted 3 civics into the 10's and theyll definetely kill any 4 wheeled car in my garage, but thats getting into the realm of cars you just dont want to drive on the street

yah, he said that driving it on the freeway is crazy, it just wants to go in a straight line... he also told me his racing earning was about 6500, and he only lost about 2000. And the car he lost to was the general lee haha, well not the same paint scheme, but some good ole fashioned detriot muscle with a blower on it.

+1 to whoever said modding cars is rich old man hobby
how many young kids do you see in corvettes these days, most of them are in import sports cars.

if i was to put that kinda money into a car though it would not be a civic ethier, it would be the 1973 240z that i am negelcting bcuz of my 600rr

 

i don't know how many times i go some where and a little civic,eclipse,etc. owner comes up and starts in on how he's got twin turbos mounted and all this other 5,000 dollar mods and how he will smoke my car. Great let me drop 5,000 into my car see what happens and if ya want to race then. Back to the subject. Looks like a clean car. Not a big mustang fan more because there are about a million running around here and half of them got cobra badges on a v-6 and lound exaust. Hate fake cars. Seen more of those cars with those hoods and 4 bangers under the cowl than v-8s. One thing about that year of car they can be made to fly.

 

right, one of my good buddys has a 9.70 second 5.0 and doesnt have *much* more money into it than this one. the foxbody 5 0's are great because you can usually find one mostly stock w/ low miles for well under 5k. someone told me that they are like the 57 chevy of our generation. cheap, powerful, easy to tool around with.

and speaking of 20k into american motors. there area fewtwin turbo 2003 cobras i've seen, one across the river from here. and you never see one making under 700hp

i can appreciate imports as most other guys can, but im talking about imports that were actually meant for motorsports, i think dumping all kinds of money into a <150hp economy car is kinda silly

 

great lookin stang... my body has a 92 notchback supercharged running 450hp at the wheels. He just got him self a built 342 he is going to put in soon and supercharge that.. plus with straight pipes, you can hear it a few miles away!
