well... SPL=Sound Pressure Level, so I'm guessing you do dB drags, or competition with stereo systems?

Just look at the signature. I love cars. They are my first love and will always be there. Cycles are fun, but cars will always be my main focus and mind set. I am into Italian cars, thus the Alfa Romeos and other makes have been my past.

I sold my 84 mustang coupe (racecar) after I bought my bike.
D&D tubular K-member with coil over suspension 90/10 shocks
9" Moser rearend with Richmond full spool and 35 spline axles 4:56 gears
12 point Wild Rides roll cage
Dynamic transmission built G-Force tranny pro-shifted w/ straight cut gears 9310 mainshaft pro 5 0 shifter
all that was left was my 427 Keith Craft stroker motor with yates heads and I was ready to roll. Sometimes wish I still had it but I just didn't have time for it anymore but I still love going to the drag strip and watching. Ford is in my blood and always will be and won't drive anything else.

I'm into cars too, I have an 01 Eclipse GT. Its pretty quick, I dont get into crazy motor work, just bolt ons mainly, just trying to make it my own. I used to have a 95 Monte Carlo Z34 that I loved, but the motor made me hate it... so I sold that. My Eclipse has an Ingen intake, magnaflow cat back and high flow cat. I have some audio inside too... its still pretty stock.

01 Eclipse GT

Theres the cardomain if you wanna check it out.

I was HUGE into cars as well, before I started riding. I faded out for the same reason CBRCorey said. A bike will always be bang for the buck by far than a cage.

I was into Honda's. I had a 97 Prelude SH
Apexi vafc
aem fuel rail
fpr
75 wet NX
all kinds of suspension stuff
all kinds of motor stuff
too much interior stuff
TOO MUCH DAMN MONEY.

I'm into cars...but not the American Muscle Mustangs, Cameros, etc. I am into the import world. But I got no beef w/the muscle cars from today and years ago. I consider us all enthusiasts, just with different tastes. I currently have a 96 eclipse, Blitz kit (soon to be changed...) 18" chromes, CAI, Cat-Bak, shaved doors, HOK paint, Stereo System...More to come, but only after I get my bike finished...it's my priority..lol

My '90 Civic Si (b16, type-r cams, i/e, body kit etc) is sitting in my back yard with about a foot of grass growing around it. It'll always be my baby, but bikes are just too much fun. Also, my Jeep Cherokee allows for passengers and excursions into the woods which the civic can't handle. I'm sure I'll dust her off sometime this summer, though.

You wanna talk cars Ive got a 68 mustang fastback that i restored from the ground up. Only problem was I was too worried about keeping it stock and original and went that route on the damn thing right down to the 14 inch dog dish hubcaps. Then it was restored almost too nice to drive so ive only put 3000 miles on it over the past 5 years. Once i get a real job im lookin to pull it out of storage and basically give it a completely new drivetrain. Any other muscle car owners out there?
