Default The Geo is mine...

You guys are my favorite crowd, I love to outrun internet badasses.

For being a POS, it gets plenty of attention. My GN (July 02 GMHTP Magazine) http://gmhightechperformance.com/fea...207gmhtp_crue/ got less attention than this car. Of course it only went 10.25 @ 131. But I'm sure lots of people here have had more than one car that they built themselves go that fast. Those that have, don't usually make comments like those because they appreciate the effort that goes into building one.

It does haul ***. I just have to ask why would you do something like that? You already have a GNX keep it like that. GNX are my dream cars. Definitely something you don't see everyday but that doesn't make me wanna walk around with my hand up my *** just so people could say " wow look at that you don't see that everyday".

It actually makes sense. The car has to be a lot lighter and easy to replace. Besides your hand won't smell like **** when you get out of it

Give credit where credit is do. It might be ugly, but he sure would **** your world up if he pulled next to you on the street. If you didn't see those slicks first, you'd laugh at him and then wimper like a little bitch. Damn that would be embarassing....
