Remember in Swingers when the chick asks John Favro "what kind of car do you drive?", and when he responds, "a Cavalier", she ignores him and continues to ignore him even when he tries to qualify it with, "it's red. A red Cavalier..." Same scenario:

"What kind of car do you drive?"

"A Subaru"

Ignored.

"It's an STI. A WRX STI..."

Ignored.

I assure you "A Porsche" response will not get you ignored.

An STI is fast but it is still a Subaru. Hell an Omni GLH Turbo was fast. Doesn't mean I want to drive one. Wait, maybe I do...

Drag race? Drag race? The last time I dragged raced, I blew away two mid 70's Monte Carlo's... and I did it with a Ford Van.

But then, the two guys weren't willing to run the Red light like I was : )

Its not the car, it's the driver.

OK, someone tell me what's wrong with this post.

"Its not the car, it's the driver" You said it.

If you're going to street race, please stay out of my community. Adults that want to go fast equip and drive their cars on race tracks, not public streets.

My eighteen year old is a night owl and I trust his driving; it's the traffic around him that keeps me awake at night.

If you "need" to go fast, get yourself an old domestic of some type and throw a big block crate motor in it...have a blast! I'll be out on the twisties...

Could one of the better Cobra Kit Cars with a 427 side oiler be the answer to your needs. Good looking, seriously FAST, no top, and moderate handling( not great but not a killer). You could then set up the gearing and trans to whatever it is you really want. Good Luck in your choice. Ed
