too bad you would have to save up 30K more since the markups are gone.

"supercar" is what the ford gt would be considered

Full exhaust
intake
no traction on 215 street tires.

If you want to run either one just hit me up, you still got my number? I'm sure with a better launch the Accord should be a good run.
PM me your number, i don't think i still have it.

I'll run anything, i just love having a good time, but unless that accord is running low 13's its not even going to be close.

That kid is lame. He has a shelby GT500 and he pays someone to drive it; his dad should've bought him a nice stock Focus.

The owner was with me when I was saying his mods and thats what he told me to put for the accord. I told him if I don't list everything then people aint gonna want to run him because he just sounds like your everyday accord with exhaust then.

I'll say this, the place where we race on the eastbank can safely fit 3 cars, I say the 3 of us need to line up and have some fun, camera guy can ride with me and we should have a good video.

I'll PM you my number.

Too many ******* are being attracted to the GT500.......thus lowering the respect level of the car. There's a local guy out here that put his Shelby in the 11's with just tires. He's aiming for low 11s with just exhaust and a retune.

I think that these cars were commanding so much money for the first two years that the only ppl willing to buy one were those who think a turnkey 500hp car is unbeatable on the street. I agree with Johnnystock.......the guy should be driving a Focus instead of a blown Stang.

Good run, except SLP Lid and K&N filter is not a stock car. You have around 10rwhp more than stock, and that's somewhat significant.

so with 10wrhp more, I should be a 13.1?

So did everyone else, what is your point? I really hope theres more to it then what you said because you really can't point out anything as obvious as that.

Your a smart guy, nothing gets past you!

Continue reading the thread title, looks like you stopped short.

It says "PART TWO", which would indicate a continuation from part 1.

That's pretty clear in the first post, along with a link to the first thread (part 1).
