I'm really excited about getting this car. I'm going to keep saving up b/c I can install the wet nitrous kit but as far as the other stuff. I am going to buy gears and exhaust first. Then I will get the cam and tune. It is so unreal about the power these motors produce so easily. I mean, I am 17 right now about to turn 18, and the though of being a kid in highschool about to own a 10 second car is unreal. My dad is so into it too. Dont let my age fool you though, I am very into cars. This car accually made me turn away from purchasing a cobra because of the ability to hold large shots of nitrous and the stock suspension system. btw you guys never told me, will a 10 second WS6 get off the ground at all?

Be careful and responsible with the car. Im only 18 and honestly drive the speed limit or a tiny below wheneveri am in town. I know you can do it but just dont be overconfident. Make sure you dont prove everyone that says we cant be responsible right.

How well can you drive, thats gonna play a big factor too. Should the Cobra run faster than it does? How well can the other guy drive, cuz if you try to race form a roll than you'd lose your advantage if you're the better driver.

watch the video... it seems like he cant shift as well as someone else could.. hes not too good at it but i mean, hes not terrible. What I am saying is that he could be better. I would consider myself a good driver. I have a celica right now, and it is a small little 4 banger but ive got about 205fwhp to it and i pull people out of the hole all the time. For example, i pulled a 350 Z out of the hole and they have more power than me by far. I have never owned a RWD car though but i drive my friend 300zx TT alot and it is definatly something to get used to. I think with practice I will do just fine.

better be glad you came to the forums first instead of a shady performance shop..they would have gotten you to drop 5k on a set of tires and a CAI and maybe a sticker pack and told you thats what you needed.

brand new highly modded car in the ditch in....3.....2.....1......

the threa started is either a comedian or just a moron. do some research and get use to the power of the car stock. you don't seem to have the slightest clue to what's going on. i would say drive the car for awhile and get use to it before throwing all these mods on it and killing yourself.

no offense man, but experience and information is gained in the technical sections, not the street racing/kill story section.
