Well, i raced my best friend tonight, he has an 89 Grand Am with the quad-4,

no mods whatsoever, 5-speed, rust....well since neither of us have horns (:P)

we went on the third bright light blink, well i was ahead for a few seconds, till i hit 2nd, he took the lead from there on, now i never got more than 2 car lengths behind, but he still beat me, and he has no muffler i don't know a whole bunch about my car, but we both knew I shoulda won :P he stopped me after and asked me "What were u shifting at?" my reply "7-7.5k...." his reply "You shoulda wupped my ***........"................

you need to work on the engine before the system and body stuff,i have never seen the point of owning a fast looking car that runs like a civic

Yeah...I have also learned thatyou have to do the work yourself if you want it done right. The guys here know alot about the cars and can help you. I just took the transmission out of my car and put a new clutch in in just 2 days. Thats not bad since I have only worked on a 4runner. Just ask alot of questions if you get stuck. Its the only way to learn.
