New stereo with subs and shiny rims are guaranteed to shave at least two full seconds off of your 0-60.

i painted mine with rustoleum, took 2 coats, and used less then one quart of paint. i had it thinned about 3-1 and sprayed it on. I wish hadn't messed with it because it was beautiful

Just tape trash bags all over it, and tell people it's a factory prototype & you're not allowed to let them see it.

Problem solved.

lol, thats the quote of the day there, lol..i hate these threads.. people dont know anything about the car and all they want to do is go faster than Doc's DELOREAN to 88mph. i wish epole would learn the car and enjoy it for what it is before they go ripping the car apart and making it some rolling trash can. these cars arent so plentyful anymore...

I have to ask, were you drunk when you posted? Or is English your second language? I attempted to read your posts out loud to my room mate, and he was like "What the ****?!? Is this guy drunk? Or just retarded?"
