actually, mid 70s to late 80s vettes are pretty cheap right now...I picked mine up for $5000, did about $18000 worth of restoration and modification work on it, and it now runs mid 12s with a perfect body and interior. With the $7000 dollars left over, I could probably make it do low-mid elevens....but really, like Gonthrax said, this is apples and oranges

Not to diss anyone but for $18,000 USD or @ $39,000 NZD you could pick an R32 GTR (89-94) for about $27,000 NZD. You put a megar $5,000 NZD into and that would put you into the mid 11's easy yet still very drivable. You have to love 4wd technology. And again apples to oranges

I know damn well that i dont smart off to an officer! Thats why im talking all my shit now! Because we all now that behind that lutenant uniform all their is, is alittle boy who's daddy takes care of! Thats right ill be getting punked out for 13 weeks of boot camp, but you know what, I CAN TAKE IT! YOU CANT! Thats why you joined the airforce! You cant do a damn thing to me, unless i talk shit while im in the military. "which i wont" Ill tell you one thing i aint no bitch, but i am smart! And I hate to see poor educated officers, were did you get your degree, hooked on phonics! And dont even come back and tell me that my grammer sucks, because ill tell you that it does. But i dont have a bachelors degree either! Oh and if you want to talk about high ranking family members, My great, great, great grandfather, was Robert E Lee. You know the general for the southern army! Oh yeah i got horns! one is going up your ass and the other is going up your girls! ha ha ha

Yup, I go to Western there in Bowling Green. I actualy applied for the position as a tour guide there but didn't get the job
Was the convention at the Hotel by the Hartland golf course? If so I'm sure I saw ya around there. I had to go check out all those pretty vettes.

Well you seem to know soooooooo much about the military and sooooooo little about maturity so I'll just let you be. And you seem to know soooooo much about me and my father that i'll just take your word for it.

BTW, I can guarantee I know more about your supposedly great grandfather Robert E. Lee. I'm sure I'm probably related to him and George Washington too.

BTW, we'll just have to see about all that other stuff. Until then try and grow up.

sure thing bob! Remember your arguing with a 17 year old, who's mature now!

Japanese cars are not better then an American built car. Its like people who still cling to the theory that the earth is flat. They just cant believe that its not true.

THANK YOU!!!!!

I really wish they would hire actual car enthusiasts, it seems like a lot of kids are there just because they need money...not because they like cars. That may have been me...I stayed in a hotel that was close to a golf course, can't remember what it was called though

Both skylines and supras are capable of having 1300 hp and bein street legal. Juns street legal supra went 8 seconds in the 1/4th and had a top speed of around 250 mph. If a supra can do 8s a 1300 hp skyline can do 7s. Ive never herd of a street legal domestic bein under a 9 except for a corvette lingenfelter

tino its not nice to disturb the graves of long dead threads....they come back and haunt you

[tmh_drift17]

hi.

im a fan of certain imports and all muscle v8s.

supras are fast, 6 cylinders is alright, but i havent seen any 10 second street legal supra before. if there is a supra out there running 10 seconds then mad props to the owner but how much money has he spent? more than 20 g?

skylines...yea i love them. best import ever! yes ive seen them in the states but not many. good luck finding parts and waiting 2-3 months shipping from japan. where do u find a head gasket especially made for the rb at the time of the day u need it badly? hmmm so much money to make it fast.

4 cylinders. eclipse,honda,wrx,lancer. fast cars.... how strong is the drive train? haha pretty shitty huh? broke a front axle? did u run 25 pounds of boost and blew the heads? u broke another tranny? hmmm u cant run 10 secs on the road liek that....its gotta be reliable. 4 cylinders are commuter cars, just keep the way it is and no one will make fun of u.




yay muscle v8s. transmissions built for the toughest. engines that shake the ground. 10 second all motor easy. and still street legal. cruise at 25 mph. drop it in 2nd and O FUK!?!?!?! whut the hell was that. no one knows... its not a import. a v8.
