yeah, i read that in the mag but it was disappointing. i thought they were going to write about some feasible way but most of customize what we use as daily drivers. it really shaved a lot of time off the e.t., but it still leaves me high and dry

deathor, I think you're beautiful (I'm not good with words)... Anyways why fix up your car when you already make your car look good? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] Iono, I just thought I'd tell you that, since its what I was thinking when I first saw your sn.... But yeah, I dont think a lot of us will be stripping our car, since we're daily drivers... But some people will just do anything to shave a second off of their time

That was hella k3wl. Yeah, passenger cars aren't exactly made for racing. It's amazing that they shaved off so much without any aerodynamics. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Guess what guys, I don't think they are 100% serious with that article. it is informative, but mostly just for entertainment value.

it says his budget was $0.... right? well, if they just completely stripped the car down to an UNREPAIRABLE state of being, then they just decreased its resale or actual value by THOUSANDS of dollars. that car couldnt even be salvaged for the engine now that they have destroyed the chassis. all i have to say is that this is the stupidest thing i've ever seen, all for an unimpressable quarter mile time. if i was the owner of that car, id have those SPORT COMPACT CAR guys put a gun to my head right after they finished with my car.

Well... To muffle the exhaust system means to restrict it more. Therefore, they're kinda correct since they're freeing up the restriction.
