I don't know if I'd call it 5-6 cars, more like 2-3 tops. I would like a re-match though, that thing moves out.
I don't think has care's on how may car's it was he just had a really good time for what he told me..
I know there is a guy named Pat who lives in Mankato and has a black FC with a LT1 swap, took it up to BIR once. Dont remember exactly what he ran but it was somewhere around 12.0@122 or so.
Another one of my friends just moved back home to Bemidji from Mankato, he had a blue FC with a LS1 swap, layed down like 402rwhp on motor. Ran a best of 12.7@119, spinning 3/4 of the track.

Pat has my old v8 FC and I know Christ to.

For me, I think riding in a "stronger or better" vehicle will give me more inspiration to build my car. Even if it's not "fast", I will love my car even more just because I know where I'm at with other cars out there.

I agree with you. sometimes when I'm not very motivated to work on my car it's nice to get a ride in someones car that is faster than mine. that makes me want to get my car going again and do what I can to make it faster

oh yeah, viper = 16g E85 car.


See if your GF agrees :)

I will take anyone for a ride around the road course at BIR if they are there when I am racing.

My Wife does agree, plus she likes the '05 vipers a bit better than the old vipers so keep buying and selling till you can make more money.

Plus if she gets bored of my DSM there is always my gorgeous Z car that is she working on while I am away.

Hmmm, stealth vs. civic good times.

Could have had a 05 but Gen2 (96-02) > Gen 3 (03-06). The newer style doesn't cost any more and is generally in less demand. Could have had a 04 with 10k on it locally for the same price as my 02 with 7k I got in Chicago. My car was considered a steal at the time.

Didn't buy my car to have the fastest thing around. Wanted something fairly quick and relaible. If I want to make it faster, I could get it past 600whp without even having to worry about the reliability side or having to worry about the tune on the car.

BTW, I barely ever talk about my car...

You said that a 16g car is = to a viper. I think that you are the only one who agrees. If I gave constant project a choice, $1400 for the 92 GSX - white, 16g, FMIC, rims, etc (car he bought from me) and my viper, I can guarantee he would chose the viper.

If you look at threads on here (ie healthcare) it is other people who bring up my car(s). I was in the DSM game for several years back in the day. Only thing I hold against them is reliability when modded. Proof of this would be how many people's cars arent running. I did the whole 60 trim thing ~6 years ago, didn't have the time to keep the car up while going to college. My old car is what Swifty is driving.

You are the one who keeps bringing up "penis" on all of the threads so maybe you are the one trying to compensate for something.

There is nothing special about an "05" viper, same dam car as in 03. There will always be a better car on the road so I don't care what people think of my car. You and your wife like your DSM, I like my viper. I don't see what your issue is.

If I didn't care about what is going on with DSMs I wouldn't be on here.
