    hey that's me! anyway i think its pretty funny when kids at school put $100's into 4cyl jap traps and they cant even come close to 20-30 year old cars I got for less than $300 ea. I slaughtered the most with my olds though(I know I know, hey Iam newtoford), $100 for the car +$200 for the olds 350 and $150 for open headers= not a single car at the school parking lot could come close the story does have an un happy ending though, here's something for all you gm hatin' ford guys to laugh at...I'l be ready to get revenge with the mav though [​IMG] If anybody has one of these they want to sell me let me know.

    I have not had this happen YET. I'm mad. But I'm having dreams of a 1992 Nissan 240 with a turbo motor in it. I have already found a shell 5 speed sitting in someone yard. SORRY I love all types of fast car, trucks, boats, & motorcycles.

    don't get me started... about rice rockets again :rolleyes:

    i can get ahold of more then a few 4cyl "rice rocket" "jap" (hense i'm half japanese to give me the OK to say that) cars that will do alot of spanking here... :tsk: ever heard of a EJ20... thats what i thought :rolleyes:

    i'm sorry to say but a stock I6 is SLOW as hell.. i know i own one! :p can you make one fast i have no doubt in my mind.

    i'll shut up now.

    ahhh yes, the japanese improvement of the german boxer;). dont forget though, dollar for dollar in any deal. if you spend 2k on upgrades i get too as well. otherwise its stock vs stock. of course i have a jap built vehicle that does close to 10 sec quarters from the factory and its considered slow for what it is (its not the subaru either:evilsmile). as for your six though, bet it will still beat a lot of stock 4 bangers.

    thats becuase you own one :p you don't count :D

    but i'd say for 2k on a EJ20 and 2k on an I6... i still put my money on the EJ20 even with the air on WRX that is :rolleyes: !

    hum.. 10 sec huh? i say 2JZ or a RB motor or maybe a wankle :p

    i don't know about the i6 it's slow! i think it can keep up with the ups trucks with the same motor :biglaugh:
