well i have only built one car so far, but i love it still after 4 years. it may not be the fastest thing around, but it scoots and it is reliable.

ill be seeing it theatres most likely. i was never really a fan of the first one simply because of the annoying effect it had on the ricer group. They watched the cars in the movie racing for 5 minutes strait while using nitrous and hitting 90 mph, so all of a sudden they had race cars cause there civic could do that to...

welcome. Quick question though, is that intake coming through the hood, or just one of those stick on ones that sit on top of the hood?

Welcome, good intro. Not digging the car, but to each their own i guess lol. What are you thinking of trading up for?

welcome and nice cobalt. i think i remember seeing your car at trails quite a few times. this may be a dumb question, but did you have a friend that used to run out there with an eclipse that had plateson it that said something along the lines of "smoked V8"?

well lets see, its a BMW with a ford motor.......ill give you $5 cash right now lol

habitual, you should bring that thing to a track day or something, i want to race it . they are good cars, and as a few people have said, the engines are bullet proof.

AMEN on this... congrats on gettin it back though. most of the time that i hear about this kind of stuff, it ends about 10X worse than yours did.

depends which motor is in it. 3.4, dont bother. The 3.8 cars are pretty good. they get great gas mileage (my cammed one still gets high 20's on the freeway with 4.10's out back).

tyler, the only thing that looked better than the 69 boss 429 was a 67 GT500. Ive never been a huge fan of the 71-73's, but i would still rock one.

i was going to say a later model grand prix or G8. The GP's dont have the nicest interiors around, but they are very reliable car with the 3.8. Im sure you could also get V6 G8 for failry cheap now to.

im debating the idea. depends if i have the money or not.

i have to agree with you there. It is kind of sad though how some cops do act towards people. For instance, i got pulled over one morning doing 67 in a 35. the cop was really cool about it, hell he was even asking about my car. On the other hand, i was pulled over downtown by a statey because i was turning onto broad street from some shitty little side road which had a little bump up to get on broad. when i went to turn, my wheels chirpped a tiny bit from hitting the bump. He acted like a complete tool over an accident.

weak. Read the stickies and try again.

yes, think cts comfort with C5 Z06 power

hell for 20k you could get a C5 Z06. They are a blast to drive and have 405 hp to.

scott, i understand the whole weather thing. im just mainly confused more or less on how cars like my dads and such that will slow down maybe 2-3 hundredths (which is easily manageable), but mine will jump tenths (which obviously sucks major ass in bracket racing). Some one tried to tell me it was because my car is fuel injected, but i dont think thats right...

Basically, ive never seen a car that is as consistant and inconsistant at the same time, as my firebird. For exapmle, last week, i hot lapped 3 time trials before eliminations at trails. All 3 passes were 14.21x. The car stay pretty close to that most of the night to. Then we get down to the quarter finals and my dad tells me his car picked up a little bit so i may want to dial in a little quicker, so i dropped it a couple hundredths (he ran about 2 hundredths quicker). Needless to say i was dialed in at 14.21 and ran a 14.15 while on the brakes pretty good. Same crap last night. Dad says he slowed down a couple hundredths. I was dialed in at 14.27 and ran 14.44. Is there any thing i can do or am i just SOL?

my mom has an 04. they are good trucks, but if you plan on towing much i would try to find one with the 5.3 V8. The 4.2 feels pretty powerful, but from what we have noticed, sucks for towing much.

its a scam i know of several people that have found adds exactly like this one. Hell a guy i worked with found an f250 on craigslist for a hell a of deal. He asked me if it was legit. It sounded like it at first ( add was exactly like this, but i had not heard about it before). Then he showed me a pic of the truck and it ended up being the truck that another friend of mine had just bought 2 days prior from a dealership in colorado lol.

ive had pretty good luck with sunoco. i watched a study a while back about how accurate fuel ratings were like 87, 93 and such. sunoco was the closest. I think there 93 tested out be like 91 or 92.

good looking car. do me a favor though, please dont be like the other 2 tools with 3000gt's running around reynoldsburg acting like you have the fastest shit around lol.

like nobody saw this coming....hell the one night i was out there, i saw no less than 10 ricers try to act like hard asses as they were leaving and so moron in a buick regal trying to drift around the parking lot.

+1 on this. Honestly, i have gone to plenty of actual CR meets, and no street racing takes place. Its usually always the stupid little ricer kids that hang out at places such as sawmill.

welcome. good looking fox. any mods to the little 5.0?
