i dont think its because i want the best that it pisses me off, but more the only way i can afford fast is by taking time, but i feel like it takes so much time that when i reach my goal of 700hp people will be driving around in DD 400hp hondas....

plus its a little disapointing to build a 500rwhp car, just to have your *** stomped by a factory corvette...

just think of how much more satisfying it will be to smoke one in your "older ride".

35k for a 400hp mustang vs 8-14k max or what ever you paid for your new edge , 6k-ish to put some sort of F/I on it and have a 400rwhp mustang totaling around low 20 thousands. I like the second option , Who cares how fast your car is now... you can always make it faster its all about how fat your wallet is. Feel good about your car and dont get your poopar out of par that new cars are faster , that usually means they cost alot more.

true its way more fun, and to be honest i stomped a 05-09 like 2 months ago, and that to me was funny as ****. but we all know just cuz you get a fast car doesnt mean you can drive it fast. had a kid at the track once in his 05 or newer bullit, trying soooooooo hard to break 14 sec, i wanted to go over to him and be like, let me borrow your car for a few mins...
