I know this isnt the kill section but we need some traffic in here.

So what do you guys fear running into most on the highway other than the other cars and the curb and all of that



This is kind of related to the A4 that killed me.. lol except I didnt know I was going to loose that bad! lol

But I saw a red Viper today and saw a Red 355 Ferrari the other day. Either which would of mopped me up pretty good.



So what is it guys?

All out drag racers?

ZO6's?

Vipers?

Cobra's?

Camaro SS's?

Yugo's?

FD?

Classic built up muscle cars?

you hear about the new Viper? they bored out that 8.0 litre V-10 to 8.3 and upped the power even more... it is now like 500 or 550hp I need to go check... I dont normally keep up with slowpars...... Though there are a few nice ones!



Oh here about the SRT10? it is the lightning Competition... 1 minor problem with it though..... YOU CAN BUY 2 LIGHTNINGS FOR THE PRICE OF 1 SRT10!!!! And it only beats the lightning by .3 in the 1/4 mile..... Man that sucks!!

500-550 HP would definitely require great attention to beat. The thing about those cars is that they can even get a good launch from a roll.

Once I start driving the Subaru again, I'll fear everything.

Subaru = reliable. I don't want to change that equation in any way. If the motor does happen to go, though, can I swap the turbo motor into it? It's an '88 DL with the 1.6l, I think.
