Dangit I was hoping you sold this and just had the Mustang now.

Pick a side dude. Rob needs some backup.

You can't tell me to pick a side until you do something about those stripes.

Sold it? Sell it? Nah, it has been just long enough that it will feel like driving a new car when I get it back. Actually, it probably will feel like a new car. I've gotta resize my master cylinders for less pedal effort, which should also make the brakes feel more aggressive. I mean I'll be adding almost 200hp and when you add that much power, you're going to feel like your brakes suck

Enough with the pick a side thing already, you guys. Can't I have both? I see it as two distinct categories. Last night at Adams, running a Ford was like competing in the Special Olympics, or Paralympics to be a little more kind. Yes, I won for having the fastest Ford, but I was two seconds of the fast time of the day.

I do need to get a picture of that jacket. It is pure awesome, and xxl which means when I'm 60 I won't look out of place wearing it.

Springs, sway bars and old used up tires. I'm tempted to put a set of sticky tires on it, but I don't want to be buying tires for it that will be gone by December. I really can't complain though, that car weighs 4000lbs with 57 percent of the weight over its nose with me in it, and handles well enough I don't need any electronic aids, so to be able to hold its own on a go kart track is, well... remarkable. Of course, the fastest car out there was actually a truck, so we're a bit of an odd group. Your Torino will be right at home.
