I knew you had an extensive past with the elesjuan, but I don't recall hearing about a procharged one. How in the hell have you been toying with SI's and colbalts and such after having power like that on tap??!?!? I think I have officially found someone "worse" than my dad about swapping around cars, lol. Nothing wrong with broadning your horizons and trying all realms of the performance world....
Just since I've "known" you, you coulda taken all the moniez spent on mods on the various rides and prolly paid for something outright.... not to mention the sales taxes and payments.... geeeeeeeez lol...
But, before it seems like Im ******* in ANY way, Ill tell you how much of an idiot I am.... we're in an interest only loan on our mortgage, refinanced twice in 2 years, and doubled our payments
We all have to learn I reckon

We all have to learn I reckonHow do you go from 500whp to an SI or Cobalt? Hehe, trust me man, its pretty easy when you start ripping through transmissions and rear ends. Its a wonderful experience, but one that belongs to the wealthy. If you have to save $16k for 4 or 5 years to build up a car, or even a few months to buy just the blower set-up to put on a stock car.... well, you can't afford it. Stuff like that is for those who have money to burn, seriously. I was in a different position when I got into making decent HP, but unfortunately that ship has sailed. Best route for us types is to buy a car that's already modded if big power is the goal.

I actually like those. Main reason I steered away is the massive torque steer, and all the smack people would talk, haha. Suckers are quick though, and mod very well.

I finished school and I am back home... 5 minutes from Piedmont Dragway if you make out that way, $20 will get you all the 1/8th mile runs you want on test and tune night. Usually decent to good track prep.
My brother is still in school at State though... red 2V on bullitts. Throw him a rev if you see him.

How the HELL do you know Mr. Hubbard? Super great dude, great businessman, and takes PRIDE in what he sells. Thats who my ol man has dealt with on his last..... 4 cobras I think? Lol, he's only 20min away from me, I snoop through his lot all the time. HIGHLY recommended to anyone looking for a highpowered ride. (He also holds a couple vettes and Machs as well)
Edit: now now now, don't be so quick to hate on the 6'er + blower idea.... procharged 3.7 + 425"whp" = real fun sleeper But then you're talkn used 5.0 pricerange.... which is exactly why Im not even thinking about making that $5500 leap yet haha.
Again Stonie, I really hate to hear another case of bad things happening to good folks. And, btw, Ive had the same 6-7 pair of draws for a couple years, you DEF have that beat with your whips
