GhostRS, in all seriousness, you should. You will be surprised at the results. You quickly learn the maximum potential of your car and see that all the modifications have paid off.

I didn't insult your car, I was simply stating something similar to what B speed said earlier. Kickerfire made the comment that until he got an intercooler, then he had a widemouth rice? B speed then said, until that time yes. So I assume that he meant any car without a turbo is rice. Is this not the way you would take it?

no, i would actually disagree somewhat. If he planned on getting an intercooler then the widemouth would have function and therefore not be rice.

going to the drag stip is also fun. However, we only have an 1/8 mile track here and I find autocross to be a little more challenging to the driver. And no I'm not saying that drag racing is not challenging the ability of the driver

i agree, it takes a different type of skill to drag than it does to autox. I have done some "drag" racing before, but i have never autoxed. I am kinda scared i will hurt my baby autoxing.
