      That’s what my 04 maxi 5spd auto supposed to do. That lil girl rips. My 94 Z28 M6 went 13.8@100 stock with Hurst shifter, K&N and hypertech with 160 stat. The stat and program did feel noticeable so like 10-15hp. Beat all kinds of cars on the way home from the dragstrip on the highway.. t-type Buick, eclipse gsx, C4 LT1, many fox bod, 04 mustang GT modded but barely pulled him and it sounded good have to say.. think it was that shit 3v 4.6 so that was impressive, 5.7 hemi charger.. lol but the 6.1 was close enough to be a driver thing at a stop light, grand national and my buddy’s fox 347 stroker, a cam heads intake and 4.10 fox.. that was close also but not as close as the 04 gt. On low like 26psi fuel psi edged out a C4 LT1 auto that took a running start from my bumper lol that car was great in it’s time, oh a black 01-02 cobra from 65-120ish then a turn a 45mph on the hwy with yellow blinking lights lol I had to rev match 4th while braking and when I did it fishtailed at around 75-80 oh and a 89 ish fox from 35-70ish and a turn over the river.. thought he would eat the wall from under steer.. was bad. I pulled him and in front. When I barely made it I glanced to the rear view and saw his nose planted and leaning thinking telepathy let off the brakes just a little. I waited at the light for him and he looked and did the motion like you wipe sweat off your brow... was almost sooo bad. That’s back when guys sometimes want to fight with no money on it. When you think someone can get hurt that shit doesn’t matter. I’m not like that anyway. I like being friendly but have had to get hard here and there.. that’s the guys with a small pp I bet lol hope you liked the stories. It’s mostly about timing and knowing your car and most non pros don’t. I’ve had 3 buddies learn to drive pretty hard from me coming up getting our licenses but I rode atv etc so advantage. I have one great race on my ch at the dragstrip. The last race is best. My Formula 400 RA III vs 79 TA LS1 4spd auto. Mine 3.42 gears stock stall and his 3.23 gears stock stall but he lower 1st gear trans. He had manifolds and me headers. I’m glad he holeshoted me a bit and I came back so no doubt which car was what that day lol 🤘🏻.. need a beer over n out my friends

      I agree. A budget plus car. Sell car buy different car or upgrade what you got. 2k. then do a 3rd one 5k. Then you all can do Cleatus idea of go somewhere buy a car and drive it back. I recommend Wichita Kansas. a lot of sleepers there.

      I’d love for them to do that! I’d follow.
      I have an EarthRomer and I’d 100% follow them and offer emergency respite. My unit has heat, hot water, shower, cooling, full kitchen. 4x4.

      Especially if it’s the Spec-V which was my first car. Only difference is mine had the autistic skyline bumper from the b-15.
