Faster than all the ricer ****. That's all I'm worried about. Until I have someone come up to me at a light and leave me in the dust I have no reason to go faster. I don't ever have time to go to the track or anything so I don't need speed there. Believe me there are a few fast cars there but for all of the other 21656163 people that think they have a "race car" my 13.40's blow them out of the water lol.

I don't really spend much time here in town, but when I do I see a few stock Mustangs, a couple Corvette's driven by old people, and occasionally a GTO.

I did see a Termi the other day which was a suprise, I just don't think anybody "cruises" around here to be honest. Everybody heads to Gwood.

I'm hoping for an 11.xx slip if I ever get this bitch to the track. 11.5x would be nice, but IDK if it has enough...

Travis ben gave me a paper that he got when he bought the car and that's what it says lol. either that's what it has or ben and the guy before him are both liars I don't know either way. The paper said it had a bigger lid, and dyno tuned with straight pipes to put it at 364 rwhp and 377 rwtq ben printed it off of the ebay ad before he bought it. I'll try to find it for you lol.
