I Know What You Mean, I Barely Put My Foot The Brakes On A Rainy Day After Seing On The Horizon Three Car Wreck On The Highway, And The Car Started To Slide A Little, Good Thing I Slowed Down To About 40 Milles/hr Before I Put My Foot On The Brake

I made a big upgrade when I got my car this past winter too. The 1987 Honda Prelude with around 110HP that was handed down to me died at almost 200k miles, then I got my 2001 WS6.

everyone here warned me too

but i still went sideways under a truck.

my advice to you if you are "fast and furious"

steal i mean buy a couple of orange cones

and take it to a lot.

learn how far you can push it


do that after every serious mod to be safe

these cars get out of hand quick!


oh yeah. good luck in the rain!

i know what you mean . i had a 2000 eclipse gt and around sept, an f150 ran a light and did a hit and run . good thing about there where to witness that got color,model,of the truck. four to five months after i became the owner of a 2001 trans am with 50,000miles on it. no modes, not even an aftermarket filter and up to now i've been having fun with it . it's my daily driver and let me tell you it's fun going to work now.
