    A friend of mine's license plate


    Car put down 293fwhp on a Mustang dyno that day after a 5 hour drive with MANY hard pulls :)

    "See, we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired."

            Rob, I thought you were all about FWD and not dogging on it since you had the ITR for so long.

                there's a *slight* difference between a stockish ITR and 290fwhp. so no, i'm not anti FWD by any means. I'm anti having a car thats good for nothing but dragging and highway pulls though

                  That makes sense. I wasn't sure what was done to your ITR.

                          I have a friend with a white eclipse......convinced he needs to spend more $$ on a bigger turbo and upgrades so he can outrun his buddy's MR2 Turbo......

                          ....and he has stock suspension......

                          and he street races...... a lot.

                          And does burnouts.....in reverse.

                          I wish he would grow up. Too bad he gave up the 928 so that he could have his dad buy him the eclipse. :?

                            FWHP? Why go so far on transaxles? Why not do that to an all wheel drive one?

                            A good friend of mine almost died in a Talon he was running major boost on when his flywheel exploded. Good luck to your buddy.

                              Its a DSM

                              they make 600whp then blow up then spend months on jackstands. its a DSM, thats just where they belong...on jackstands.

                              They are all over around here in the Louisville and Southern Indiana area. There are shops here that will put a 4G63 in anything, even an AWD Eagle Summit Mini-van...with a 20g. That is the ultimate sleeper. Well that or the 4G63 powered Hyundai Excel also around town.
