Re: SHould I?

It is true that eclipses sell for a ton in canada
But for a stock gsx you are making a killing for 17gs\
you can buy one that will beat a viper for that much.

Re: SHould I?

Ok I find this hard to believe again. First you kill a Viper and owning all these cars, and now someone offered you 17k for your car... that's near stock and used and beat on. I find this very hard to believe. I'm going to call B.S. until you sell it and show me a receipt. That's all I have to say about that.

you killed a viper in a near stock gs? have you ever even driven a GS? i think a gs would have trouble beating an accord V6 4 door in stock condition... for 17k why are you even asking? i would let my DSM go for 17k and get an EVO... probably only be out about 4k and i'ed have a bad 06' MR with minimal milage and no payments ... and i wouldnt have to do my T-belt in two weeks... but that just me talking

oh... well has he ever driven any dsm? because a viper is fast... you would need A LOT more then a Near stock GSX... a viper wouldn't SMOKE a ZO-6 vette, it would blow it away like it was standing still! With work done to the vett and the viper is 100% stock... and that list of things a dsm would need to keep up with a stock zo6 is pretty impressive... (brian i think could do it... if he could start his car first, and maybe a few other select people on here... Kevins RWD for sure... but not you... not me, and not about 95-97% of the guys on here...)

he didnt waste his time racing you < you lost bad, but say you won anyway < it never happed < you dont know anyone with a viper < you lied...

Re: SHould I?

Ok guys calm it down a little. No matter how much we disagree with what 0-60 says we still dont need to bash him this much. Please lets keep this thread clean.

I wanted to get the warning out there before it got any worse. Thanks guys.

Lets keep it clean.

And yes, you need to grab the title and meet his ass tomorrow. I dont care what DSM it is, 17k is a killing for anything not completely built to the teeth and race ready.
