Fail is your opinion, i chose to because thats what i liked its only money and it was over a 7 year period plus that 50k was including the 17k price tag of the car in 2002 from the dealer plus building the motor twice. As for running 10s it never happen because i couldnt fit slicks under the car and i didnt have coil overs but thats not an excuse thats just my fault, i had planned on geting slicks and coilovers but then i wrecked so i never got that far, but i will say the car was deff capable of 10s
