directfreak, i think it would be wise to take that link out of your sig, the "you are and idiot one" norton antiviruse corperate edition detected it as a trojan virus...
i sent the link to a friend of mine, and he told me the same thing...

not cool man... not cool

Nice kill! Your car sounds like a blast. I raced one in the Cosmo as well. Killed it easily but it went a bit better than I expected.

No problem DF. Thanks for changing it b4 I even asked. Class act you are. I know its harmless, but not nice, specially for someone at work. But you did give fair warning, so your in teh clear. BTW I know where you got it, and its been removed from there as well.


Oh yea, way to represent us poor red headed step childern! Maybe these guys with their FD's and 8's will learn a little respect for us.

I'm not one for stories but...

You are going to find that more than often, you find yourself having this type of fun. Here is a little story from my 3+ years of FB ownership. You are going to have to control yourself, or you'll end up gettting in trouble.

I posted my little story on the end of yours at

Are you sure that RX-8 was racing?



By the way: People. This horrid link that I have introduced - IS NOT A VIRUS. IT IS DESIGNED TO CONFUSE AND FRIGHTEN SIMPLE-MINDED HUMANS. It's this new thing, called humor.

Edit: Had to put this thing to rest.

How does the car handle when Its spinning the tires like that .

does it track pretty well or is it all over the road.

You're kidding right?

Well, I consider myself a good driver, but it would very easy to lose complete control. I keep it at 10 PSI during normal driving, and I don't have that problem unless I floor it (literally), or powershift.

The Boost controller has a "balance" **** that adjusts how you want the boost to kick in. All at once (neck-snapping/tires spinning) or more moderately (more linear, less traction issues).

Either way, I need some drag radials.

well I don't know if anyone cares, but I beat a RX8 in the 1/8 mile at the track. I ran 9.7, he ran 10.3. Everyone was surprised even the owner.
