My God, that is cheap.

I've always considered moving to the Phoenix area for how cheap the housing is down there. Too bad the job market and crime is awful

Low numbers is where its at, that way your not lying when you set up a race, and you leave someone scratching their head when they get their *** handed to them.

Ya I can agree with that for sure! The truth is better, specially when you have a legit Sheet saying its low I have a feeling that the power curve on this setup is quite large by the way it pulls throught the whole rpm range!

True, True! Nothing quite as dissapointing as big numbers and a slow car haha!

Video is a lie. GTOs are slow and everyone knows all diesel trucks with any mods at all run bottom 11s. Just ask the tools in the lounge.


















Good kill.

Yup, you caught me. I photo shopped it! Damn it! Lol, was a good time. Whats hillarious is the Kid who was riding in the back seat with the Dmax guys, was talking **** saying his Dmax would drag my GTO down the block, but refuses to line up. Well the truck I raced and that kids truck ran and the one I beat pulled the douchebags truck pretty good lolz. So im wondering what he has to say now. I know the 2 guys in the front of that truck pretty good, great guys. But that other hkid is a grade A douchebag. Im assuming he wanted to go with to scope out my car lol.

He is the kind of person who`s dad has a bad *** nitrous/vortec swapped 5.3 3rd gen with 111tybillion HP and yet its never around, will never bring oit out, always has a problem etc. I offered to race Dbags truck in my Cummins and he said "Tomorrow is a better day, I need to change my thermostat" Lolz WTF! ***

That was an **** pounding lol. GTO sounds good though.

And wtf, houses for 60k-100k? Is that real life?

I'd be hard pressed to find one for under 600k in my city lol. ****, my parents house is worth about 900k and it's nothing special at all! ******* California. I need to move lol.

Houses are cheap because jobs pay absolutely nothing in some states. When you make 7.50/hr, 65k is a lot of money.

Nice runs btw
