once i get my heads/cam and more boost ill race u with ur blower… not to 170…maybe somethin more like 140…

chucks car can probly take down pretty respectable bikes right now… he’s got a procharged ls1 with only 10-11psi… hes already left some 600cc’s to shame… he’s got 625whp…not exactly in the 1000’s, but its not all about hp nuimbers…its about delivery

you are beginning to sound ignorant/hard headed…

one thing you need to learn if youre going to be in the automotive scene… is that there is always somebody faster than you… ALWAYS.

and the whole “once i get my xxxx and get my car tuned” was played out like 4 years ago… don’t bother opening up your mouth until you spank everyone on the board…

and even then… theres no reason to prove to the world that you are the coolest person ever… if youre really going to be the fastest person in the world, take notes from Firehawk853, from what i understand hes stupid fast… but hes not an ass about it.

sucks to need a car to get that 😉

And honestly, theres no need to be an ass. Just get your facts right before running your mouth about how unbeatable vipers are.

Marc, i like your car and all, but it’s not the best thing to ever grace the earth, which is what you seem to make it out to be.

I love it, but yeah… performancewise there is a lot out there that will do just as well as the viper…

:bloated:

Rules:

#1 - Girls generally don’t care what a guy drives. If they do, then they probably aren’t worth it in the long run.

#2 - If you talk to girls about your car, like you’re talking to “us”, they are just going to laugh at you.

#3 - If you’re buying a car, to get pussy…it’s not going to help. There’s a reason you weren’t getting pussy with your geo (p.s.- it has nothing to do with the car you drive)

#4 - You can drive a 1995 MK3 Jetta, and still get pussy. And lots of it. Most likely more than someone with a Viper.

#5 - Looks, Charm, Chivalry, Humor \>\>\>\>\>\> Cars & Money.

:tup: nice car btw…but then again i do see atleast 2 vipers a day :gotme:
