No shit. You may know my wife... lol.

It's amazing how much quieter the military copters has gotten. I use to literally live 3 blocks from an Army Air Field growing up. The older copters would rattle the windows day and night. The newer ones with the bubble on top were hard to hear and locate behind a tree line.

Fuck Pakistan. Give them the warning to for the US immediately pick it up and if not flatten the base that they have the remains in.

Speaking of Subaru, I wish I could find what Jay Leno had to say about Suburu's, classic. I personally like the Legacy from a fear years back.

My take is to stop increasing taxes for public education. Public education is not the answer to all education for children. If I want the best education for my children, then I need to fork over the cash to pay for private school. States cannot afford to give every child an education to get them everything in life. They are there to provide the basic necessities for education and nothing else (thats why it's public education). If the parents are so motivated in the kids education, then spend the time and resources to either A) progress faster and taker higher level classes, or B) Pay the money for private schools.

Agreed. I get it also. It's not about out performing a vette. It's about driving something that whole neighborhoods can collectively barely afford. I personally would reinvest the money, but I could see myself in my younger days doing it (not that I ever came .000005% close to affording it).

FWD cars in the snow are fine. The only thing with them is that once you start to spin, its dicey to get it back in line. RWD likes to go sideways for every excuse in the book, but you can give it gas to get it under control way more than a FWD. You just have to adjust your driving to suit either one. If your just after a DD, I would consider an older civic. It could save you some money and parts are easy to find. Plus, you have a ton of engine swap options.

Dam good stories. I have to throw one out there. How about a packing lot is the meeting place and a mass group does it cannonball style for cash. It's been done in Mexico(nudge, nudge, wink, wink). The last legit one I can recall was in the late 90's in another state.

It was awesome. 3.70 near my place in the morning and 4.15 after work.

At first I thought it was a joke...his buddies vinyled his car as a prank. Then I read more and it was legit.

Good move. Your rx7 is going to be a single digit quarter car and the tow truck will keep miles off the rx7.

My bad I meant Impreza. Dam that is going to be a fun car.

No shit. Cool as swap. Only if you could find the early 2 door wrx from way back when.

That would be cool shit. The mustang has a chassis that you can do alot with and you have a ton of rear end options. How about a Pinto chassis? It would save a ton of weight and still have all the options of a mustang.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. I will definately have to check it out. I miss the sounds of 48 ida's or a draw-through holley. It use to be big in Hawaii and started to come back right before I moved here.

Somebody in a pinto just put down a 10.8 on a stock 2.3 with 200k from the junkyard. Grant it that 30 pounds of boost were needed, but it's possible.

edit. I forgot rwd

What transmission are you going to run?

No one is knocking Brent's car. Multiple people stated that is was the fastest door slammer and that 4g63 are good motors. At the same time it's not the fastest 4 cylinder regardless of rail, factory backed or not. Another one to throw out there is John Sheppard and his 7.7 Talon street car, John Hubers 2.3 based mustang, and Chris Bubetz running 8's in the early 90's in a vw. The list goes on and there are a ton of options, it just depends what you want to do.

Critter7, you are right. I think Brent's car may even be a 3/4 chassis car.

I think you're right.

Brents is the fastest door slammer for now. There is Fisher's buggy (VW Pauter engine), a 2.7 Tacoma engined Corralla, and I think sr20 Dastsun in Puerto Rico that have a good change at beating his record. Dan Nase Ecotech got down to a 6.4: VW Paradise got a 6.53: Also another forum that is often overlooked is the sand drags. The are dominated by Pauter 3.5 liter VW based engines. These guys have stupid amount of money into there cars. Below is the national associations website http://www.nsdn.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=438&Itemid=32 Brent's car is flat out amazing but people were going on and on about he was the fastest 4 in the world when guys were running his times 5 years earlier. It's just they weren't the popular Honda/DSM engines and get over looked due to it. Unfortunately the import racing associations and NHRA are very biased and constantly change rules to keep non-traditional engines from competing because they don't have the huge fan following across the country.

An upgrade that takes up the whole front bumper.

The guy I saw was black and I am sure he had a front mount intercooler.
