going 180mph in your playstation or xbox is not a real thang

You famously didn't click the link, I don't blame up with dial up. I was driving a 510 HP Jaguar, holding my blackberry at ATL motor speedway. SO where's the pics of this Camaro you have again?!

Have you decoded the fisher body tag to see what the OEM color was? I have had my fun with 1st gen Camaro's. The new one should make the "real" one's worth more.

130 on a speedway is nowhere near the same thing as 185 "on the downslope from Palmdale" with regard to pucker power.

I didn't want to go any faster one handed, as you can understand. We hit the 161 limiter all day long, poor cars. As for rx-7 stories...... I broke off a cls 55 with a new shelby stang in tow on the 605 late one night. Finishline among onthers can verify. My t2 Speedo was pegged and the amg hit the wall/ limiter and we zoomed by till we let out ans shot flames. I also did a high speed run with nukeall in the car, we took 5th gear to 7900rpm in a 88 t2 on the 110 south past the 405. He was squealing like a like girl past 140 lol. That was the only times I have messed around on the highway.

I hate rx8 high beams lol don't aim high enough to see the signs but don't aim low enough to see the road clearly. then again I heard lowering your car effects the smart light sensors..

you know what... i noticed that too... they go wide instead of high. so they are "widebeams" i guess?


rulez:

it's still a work in progress, slow progress that is.

OH, it looks lowered already. Maybe it's the body kit, seems like the tire to fender gap is smaller than stock tho.

Anyways, painting cars is hard work but it's fun and in the end it's all worth it. Good luck! What color you going for?

i can verify, but your story is a bit inaccurate. we were on the 91 going to the buena park meet. lol i thought it was a SRT-8 dodge magnum other than the mercedes benz, no?

otherwise, socalrotor left the rest of the caravan in the dust. this was in the carpool and fastlane too.
