Who cares how fast the Talon is, still looks like a ricer boy car and sounds like ****.

I could take a CRX and make it 2000 pounds and slap a turbo in it and make it a 9 second car, but it would still sound and look like **** and i wouldnt want to be seen in it.

Do a search buddy and you will find similar setupto his car that will run about the same.. Talons car is no joke. I for one can comfirm this cause I have raced him with my car.. Plus being an AWD car it will leave just as hard on the street as it will at the track..
Please learn to read in context. If you can't figure out what I mean, go look at the start time of the actual race until the end of the video. Then smack yourself on the head for being a bonehead.

And that's why you buy an import shell and drop a LS-engine and turbo into it.

There are always going to be the true, die hard import haters. Oh well...I've learned that if somethings fast and has someones hard work into it, it's cool regardless of how many cylinders or what make it is.

Seriously. I don't understand that mindset. I've seen some insanely bad *** rides from many different makes. Bad *** is bad *** IMO.

Sounds like your car needs a tune for its partial throttle map.
If you can find me a FWD that can hook that good on the street then I'll give you $5. No one in their right mind would build a DSM to grudge/money race and not choose AWD.

It's a good run, alot of unnecessary video leading up to it, but that talon is pretty bad *** for what it is.

fbody owners should be able to respect talons/eclipses. fastest imports for the money, and break down all the time if theyre not meticulously maintained. lol

Awesome run! But better quote to start at 3:40, since the sound that Talon makes would make even the hardest of street racers

Lol, agreed. Always wanted a Talon, now...not so much.

I respect them and enjoy their speed, but I hate the sound they make. Ironically, I love the sound of bikes, assuming they have a quality exhaust. Screw D&D.
