Gt700+

That would be insane.... Though you could likely put the CARRILLO RODS in the current beast and just run a bit more boost on race gas..... These guys are easy enough to beat with my *completely stock* car so I can't imagine the killer you drive around. Maybe you could copy your enemy by painting the wheels pink and install a really large wing instead?

First dude was in a nice looking WRX who actually followed me into a gas station and asked me if I wanted to do a few "pulls". Why not? so off we go, 3rd gear pull up to about 110, completely dusted him. He pulled off the freeway no round two.

second guy in a crazy looking acura. huge wing, pink wheels and a monster muffler. He pulled up on my left, i was drinking coffee. He floors it and black smoke is bellowing out that muffler and it sounds like the car is going to explode, but he went nowhere. I finished the coffee, pulled up beside him and gave him the fonzarelli thumbs up I gave him a nod to go and let him have a jump. my car was in 3rd about 4000 rpm and blasted off. swear to God, went by him like he was standing still. He and his girlfriend were cool and caught up all smiles and thumbs up.

last incident was a group of cars! A wrx, jetta and a frickin PT cruiser All three of them were taunting me, passing, tailing, etc. I just had to laugh and let them go. We were passing through Salem and I didn't want to risk one of the $12,500 tickets Mark was talking about

I'm not sure what was going on this weekend. This was honestly the first time I've been challenged like that. It was fun and has me thinking about a GT700+ setup. I might need more HP down here in Oregon

The point is that you can pick up your kids from school and take it to the drag on the weekend.
