    what roush said, every single day! not to mention, i know mavs can be built to run 9-10 sec 1/4 as well. just a matter of how you want to use it.

    Yeah, that Geo is fast alright. It also sounds like a mosquito on steroids. I'll stick with the Maverick.

    It's turbocharged, a GM product (engine and car both), and worst of all, a Metro....You're probably right!

    That is like a clown at a circus...just a cool stunt, something to laugh at when you go to the tracks.

    Kinda like when the Lava jet-car shows up at your track, they don't race, they just make a bunch of smoke for you to gawk at, then put it back on the trailer. Interesting, but I don't want one.
