I don't know if you could make a gallant fast if you strapped a cruise missle to it.

Yeah, but he'd have a hard time collecting the cash after he blew up like a bottle rocket.

Here in NZL they run around low 11s "street" some others predominantly "street-strip" are quicker. These cars were born from rally cars.

He was a no show at the track...I think it was because i saw this asshat on the road after work last night. I asked him what time he would be at the track last night, very politely, and he said he wasn't sure what time, but he would be there.Then we got caught at a light... He floored it. So i followed suit and gave a little throttle, just enough for him to catch the *** end of my borla fully opened. He then turned off the road into some apartments, and to my dismay, he was not at the track.
