Okay since it sounds like there is a definate desire to prove who owns all as far as performance shops go, I say we set a date and time and define some specifics. The challenge is out there to all public accessable import shops, the cars have to be owner or employee cars and the winner should hold a trophy or for the year until the next one. I think the only limit on the car should be that it has a licence for the street. Sometime next summer so everyone could start the project they want to run if they havn't already (I am thinking of the 12 second 2JZ starion here)

So who's game?

Sounds good, but I dont think the 2jz will be running anytime soon.

Yeah no shit, I need to work for a local shop for a week so I can compete.

This would be cool, I would defintely attend. You guys should run CF for the track to compete at.

I assume you mean to compete in drag racing only. There are other local shops that are more geared up for auto cross, but do they even matter?

Oh and Mike, I'm sure you and Swanny know already, but you actually need a running car to compete or is this competition going to be setup for some time in 2006? hmy: :razz2: hmy:

Is this bench racing or an actual race?

And where do I place my bet?

Like I said, I am in for this one way or another. Not a bench race in my book, we will just have to see if the competition is up to the challenge :stick:

And yes, the NSX is welcome, no exclusions on cars as long as they are licensed. I will even come up with a suitable trophy.

I think it should follow these rules;

1. It must be a licensed street car
2. It must run full exhaust (dump tube is optional)
3. It must have D.O.T. approved tires (any kind you like)
4. The engine manufacturer must match the car (transplants of the same make are acceptable)
5. Imports only (fuck no, Camaros/Firebirds are not allowed)
6. All entrants must run the same fuel (nitrous is optional)

Other than this, I think it should be open to what ever you want to do to the car.

Metro qualifies in my book, you can run if you want, maybe we can get Cabe to run in his Falcon.
