But lets be honest. We've all been talking about boats lately...

Who the **** cares about the fastest 1/4 mile or the fastest standing mile when we are rolling around in this bitch!

They sound the same... All you really hear is turbo. The only difference is that Steven was able to build boost on the converter, while SW has to use something called an Anti-lag because you aren't able to really load a motor with a 6speed LOL. That's why the Supra sounds so gay on the launch.

Strini and I decided that we may go in together on one of these boats. Of course there will be a wakeboarding boat for fun. I just think we need to pull at least one person on a tube with it. My pick was easy for it. Worm Boy of course since he is the smallest/craziest person I know!



This is just a rendition of what will probably happen!

PS forgot to show measurement but that's at least 30ft of air!

Porsche would have to go bye bye to buy the boat!

I think they start at about 6+ million. I know the paint jobs on some of them run in the 250k+ area!

I see two differences Powell.

First- you look nothing like Paul Walker
Second- he showed up to race, you went to your parents to swim because it was too hot and you didn't want to sweat on the leather...

First - I use to look like him in my younger years!
Second - I only race from a roll for that exact reason, he yanked the wheels and rode them on the street!
Third - I don't have leather anymore!!!
Fourth - After lots of thought about it, losing a rearend and/or transmission would cost me about $20k which could be going towards my new Patio. That's also the reason why I don't have a motor coming yet.

PS : I know racing is breaking, but when you can't afford the breaking part you stick to just having fun with the car. Broken parts = sitting car for 6-12 months. Which would be a TOTAL waste!

That's what you get for modding a Porsche! Most normal people are scared what it costs to just do maintenance on some thing like that let alone mod it. But basically you need to build a big turbo Cobrah 'Stang and run the streets, I believe I saw it in an evite. Dart alum big cube block, 88mm, paper plates
