Just sell your car and buy the batmobile.http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...gr_burnout.gif



Just joking, but seriously I wouldn't do it.

No gears needed for 11s, DRs and a few suspension pieces will more be plenty

I saw a Kia at the car show with a flame thrower. No melted bumper. not even really any ash on the bumper or anything. and it was an all white car. The stuff doesnt even really ignite until its well away from the pipe, not like it shoots a flame right out of the tailpipe.

Default looks kinda neat, but

unless you're going to set it up to have sufficient range and capability to roast tailgaters, why bother?

Or a REAL flaming chicken on the hood. That'd be killer.

car that adds a flame thrower kit to shoot fire = eg, ricer, poser, ***

car that shoots fire because it just runs like that = eg, C5R LeMans race car, CTR Yellowbird, anything catless that does better than 13.2

No way. . . Our cars are too new for that ****. 50's maybe some older 60's, 70's. . . . But not new plastic ****. . . .

You don't need to **** up your own car.

u can justify them if car runs a low 10 sec. or 9 in the 1/4
no one will say anything after a nice wheelstand and a single digit timeslip

On a 60's custom (not any muscle cars), yes. Anything newer, nope.

Imo, spend the money on other tasteful mods that will actually benefit the car's performance or appearance.

I think you should do it.




Just kidding. That's really lame. Probably should get some of those little lights that go on the hoods as well... cobra eyes or something?
