Where are you going to drive it that fast? The GST is limited to 130 and I know the GSX is faster (no limiter) so I don't really see this as being a factor unless you're going to be running down an Enzo. And going even that fast you're going to flip or wreck. And tell your friend he sux.

I will say this once, READ THE FAQ before asking questions, and search the forum. I know this has been covered more than once.
The GSX is fast as hell. You don't need to go faster than 130 mph.

your friends a moron and you should kick him in the mouth for saying that.

way more than you'll need to spend to make a 11-12 sec. car.
like will i have to do a bunch of internals to make it run?
the 4g63 has handled over 500hp on the stock block. you won't need more than about 350-400hp on the street to smoke 80% of the cars.
Hey man have you never street raced before or somtin?
yes and by now most of us have come to the conclusion that it's stupid and dangerous.
_eclipse_l so how would i keep up with mazda speed proteges running 18 psi ?
very easily...with a few thousand dollars (around $1500-2000) you'll be doing 11's or 12's.
OK this is a deal of a lifetime.
he's right, this is a deal of a lifetime..gsx's are becoming harder and harder to come by and just the fact that you got a 99 is that much sweeter. if you don't get the car now, you'll be wishing you would have when you had the chance.

Somehow I saw that coming. I'm not the only who's gonna preach this, but you seriously don't need a 12sec car at 16 years of age, and its even worse to think you can afford one if you haven't already got the money. Hell even a 14sec might be a bit much. I suggest just getting something nice to get driving experience in before you go "street racing" and trying to get a GSX.

Do yourself a favor. Go outside and run as fast as you can into the side of your house. That would probably simulate a crash at 30 mph.
Have you ever heard of experience before? Most 20 sometin year olds have already wrapped a slow car around a tree so they know what not to do. You will not be able to safely control a 12 second car at over 130 mph on the street no matter how skilled you think your 17 y/o behind is. Have you been to racing school? Might teach you how dangerous any speed over 30 really is. Ever taken the time to find out how many people in your area have been killed racing? Stay in school yo!

Don't be a pain in the ass Speed Racer. Age does matter, especially when it comes to experience. Age=Experience in most cases. So unless you've been driving since 12 and/or been to a racing school I suggest you STFU and grow up a bit because right now, I AM the better driver and I'm only 18.
That however goes to say age isn't everything, a 90 year old isn't as good as a driver as a 21 year old. So then I guess sanity goes into with experience and age? Shit, getting too complicated, lol. Take from us, we're not being asses, just realistic.

I think experience is good but just cause you have some doesn't mean shit. (I'm not sideing with the retart or anything just so you knoow) I think driving is a skill not a habit, I think people can get lazy and become shitty drivers, but also a cocky 16 year-old is not gonna be a good driver (he's already been in one accident). Then you just have plain idiots who think racing while it's snowing is a good idea.

Hey Fankthetank, so your dad owns a car business. I am looking for a GSX. Do you have any in stock or can he find any that have low milege on them? I am looking for a GSX right now and I will pay cash for it. Ask your dad if he can find one in your area or something cause around here there isnt any that are under 150K miles.

As far as street racing I think that it is stupid in general. You could be the most experienced driver in the world, but that is not going to account for what the other driver(s) does. Or what might unexpectly come out of nowhere. If you want to race take it to the track.

Dude the autobahn is a dream. When I flew back home we went on a trip across germany and france with my friends and parents so I also saw my relatives over there. We took the autobahn and it was crazy. We were goung about 180 Km and cars were passing us fast so I dont know fast they were going. The police on the autobahn have new M3 modified police cars. They look gorgeous. I saw only one and that thing flies compared to my car. Its kinda funny the cars you see in germany :), BMW , Audi , VW , Mercedes , Opel , I saw a few French cars but not much. In france the cars were completly different. Small 4 cylinder , and a few german imports. I also lost 10 pounds in France cause those bastards dont eat shit. But it was fun to travel around :).

I actually dont think that many people crash on the autobahn. They have really strict rules there for passing, etc. And the road surface is maintained MUCH better then here. People dont generally talk on cell phones or eat food while they're driving either - a lot of the cars dont even have cupholders. I saw this show where they asked a german guy why the car doesn't have cupholders. They guy was confused and said when you drive it's about driving not doing something else, or something like that. But when they do crash I bet it's bad.
I also lost 10 pounds in France cause those bastards dont eat shit. But it was fun to travel around :).
That's what I like to call the leave america diet. The only long term affective diet really. I should write a book cause no one else will say it.

Americans aren't disciplined enough to deserve an autobahn. Half of the people that have their license should have it revoked by reason of idiocy.
