I agree........
Nice car

[drvngstorm05]

i was talking to my dad today, he personally has owned almost 50 cars, most of them some kind of muscle cars. and he made the comment that my car was "ungodly fast" and that it was the fastest car he has ever driven.

:P technology > old cars

[drvngstorm05]

well my dad owns a gnx that runs high 12's, plus he put fuel injection on his 396 el camino... he knows about technology but my car is just plain fast

i've said it before and ill say it again LT1/T56+3rd gen=GOD

lol, i was being sarcastic about your dad, from the vid where he sat there burning rubber before backing off to get traction and ive started spinning wrenches from your example, tore the entire front suspension out of the RS yesterday to start replacing the broken bits from the accident last year. just found out my starter motor is also broken in half, just keeps getting better and better lol.

Here's an irony, I wish my kids were into cars.

LOL!!! oh well i've heard sometimes genes skip a generation... do u ever give them rides in a fast car? or let them drive? that might do it...

fast and furious got me into cars... then i learned more about them and realized civics weren't fast... now i'm on the light side of horsepower... or maybe v8's should be the dark side of horsepower, cuz that sounds cooler. anyway i learned the truth

[89IROC&RS]

lol while that would be fun, ive sunk enough money into her just to get her to the point of selling her. The plan sad as it may be is to be rid of her by the end of the summer. And hopefully have the IROC back on the road with a new sound system and interior. and a new timing chain. ill worry bout the rest later

[drvngstorm05]

i've never been a system kinda guy... i can't see the reason to dump a bunch of money into a stereo instead of go fast parts... i got like maybe 250 in 4 new speakers and a new head unit... my stock speakers sounded bad, and the head unit that came w/ the car when i got it would scratch cd's...

[89IROC&RS]

im both, ive been emmersed in music my whole life, i play the violin, fife, i sing, and im learning the guitar, and i always have music on in the background. So i wanted to have a system that would play any music i wanted to listen to with great sound quality. Its probly around 800 dollars by this point. But music is definatly important to me. Its not a competition system or anything, but its not bad. Once i get that done and the interior is all finished, ill worry about getting the performance stuff done later.

[89IROC&RS]

I double posted and forgot to clean it up. Thanks the lord for Formulalt1 and I will make sure to be more careful in the future .

Oh yeah, they ride in my Z every day with my wife who has somekind of muscle control dysfunction in her right foot (wonders why we go through tires so often). And on occasion, I'll take my '68 american out and they love the heck out of it (sounds cool, no mufflers) and they like watching me labor to shift the thing. My youngest got a little into it when the Gone in 60 Seconds remake came out, started wrenching a little doing oil changes and plugs at 5 years old. He's currently laid up with a fractured skull and bleeding of the brain (reason why I haven't been around much) from a bicycle accident. So, I'm hoping now my wife will see that 4 wheels are safer than 2 and let me get him in 1/4 midgets like I wanted to.

I do have some respect for the imprt crowd tho. I have seen them make some incredible power out something that came originally as a 90-125 horse slop box. Then again, look at what some of the guys have done with recent model Cavaliers. In a round about way, I would say it's 'modern hot rodding', but some of the ground effects and those ridiculous wings gotta go.
