I race in Vegas every so often. I'm not a big dog but would love to race your Honda when I'm in town next.

There's a lot of factors that determine top speed. The principle reasons my car can reach 200+ with a stock gsr tranny is my 26 inch tires on the front.... and my shift point being 9500rpm. My current power level is 0 because my fully built engine is sitting in my garage along with my car. I'm going to put my car back together in the next week or so. With my small turbo on she should make between 600 and 700whp. With my 42r with custom specks..... who knows.

I'm not trying to talk ****.... but if the hp level you have in your sig is correct, it won't be much of a race. I beat a 600+rwhp lingenfelter C6 and I know that car weighs a whole lot less than yours, and has 150 more whp. I'll run you though. We only run for fun, so there'd be no harm in running me. Hit me up when you're coming out here next. I should have my car running by then.

I've never been a fan of the Supras looks. I'd still take my car over a 700 HP supra. We both run 12's and I sound better

They could do the same thing with a 5.0 Mustang and have a nicer looking/sounding/hooking car.

I am definitely not ashamed to drive my car, but if I was I'd just hop in my escalade or my bimmer.
Personally, I love drag racing on quarter mile tracks. It is soooo fun to go beat up on manual domestics and imports with more power then me. I love the look on thier faces after I cross the finish line first even though I trap less then they do (considerably less in some cases).

Some people don't like fox bodies. They buy a car that they like, and go from there.
