AWD is easy to launch but the drivetrain loss sucks.

If you want speed and you're gonna take out the engine anyways you might as well go turbo.

You can dump tons of money into a NA, and it'll still be pretty slow (ask me how I know ). Granted "NAWS" will help you gain some hp, but turbos are SO much more fun.



And remember...



"Ametures don't use nitrous oxide! I've seen the way you drive, you have a heavy foot. You'll blow yourself to pieces!"

yea its arleady been rebuilt and street ported, and i have a full exhaust except the header,cuz i was told that the header would cause probs with it bein efi and stuff. so im gonna get nos.........but theres another prob im only 16 therefore i cant but it and my parents are crack *****s. even if i had the money they wouldnt let me get it. sucks i want the zex system. i read somewhere on this board that i could run a 50 shot and be fine but if i wanted to bump up to a 75 id have to get a better furl pump and regulator i think

lol, good one. That was the night we finished doing the piping for the front mount, it was 3am and raining so we didn't feel like spending the extra time to trim the bumper and put it back on. Without the bumper, on the highway in the rain the car never even reached operating temp after 45minutes of driving. The car has a bumper now but its not finished as nothing ever is.

That movie sucks.



Anyway you can't be too diissapointent, those DSM bastards get their parts a dime a dozen and with 3 grand they can run mid 13's. (seen it).
