the ricers do not rev their little motors at me at stops signs or lights when they pull next to either of my cars. My Healey has a very old school solid lifter cam and 11.5 to one slugs with a double pumper 750 and single plane. I need to "blip" the throttle to clear the plugs occassionally. The flowmasters dump to the side and in front of the rear wheels... If I did much more than blip the throttle I would scortch the paint on the guys car.

even a blip causes the car to torque over pretty well.

My elky is a 468 with milder cam headers into sonic turbos. 21/2" all the way out. 468 cubes make a nice lumpy idle. the 850 qjet edelbrock is "crisp".. a blip is "responsive". I will race if it is safe enough. Not a lot of takers except, oddly... on the freeway. A big block with a 6 speed and 3.31 gears is not a good thing to challenge with a ricer. No matter what the guy who sold you the turbo said.

LOL Laz your Elky is a bad bellybutton car!

Old muscle are still the only things that catch my eye... well ocasionaly a blazer will too.

I miss having a GTO, but the last one I owned was a pain in the ass, I think when I get around to getting another I will find one that needs work and not a nice one... lol.

Heh...I saw a Toyota Camry (yes I said Camry) the other day that had a Superbird-sized wing mounted on the trunk and a fire extinguisher mounted on the A pillar. I pointed and laughed and I don't think he appreciated it.

where can I get one sour? Do you know where I can get carbon fiber panels to put all over the interior? They are light I hear so will only add a few pounds. That and painting my steering wheel red should add enough HP to compete.

If they want to make there cars sound like that and save money, why don't they just rip the damn muffler off?

I really hate it when I'm trying to watch tv at night and I hear on of those spastic bumblebees zip down the street.

Lazs should get a "Powered by Honda" winshield sticker.
