The other day, I counted a total of 3 Camaro's, 4 Challangers and lost count of the Mustangs. Most were from 05-09, but I counted 5 '10s. Yep, 3,4,5-if I don't count all S197 cars, or whatever their S number is, lol. If I counted all Mustangs 05-current, like I said, I lost count.

That was coming back from a nice ride last Wednesday, down 37 in Illinois.

really cost is no issue for anyone in car world who mods.

Really? I was wondering why my car isnt a 9 second street car. I mean its modded, but Im pretty sure money is keeping my car from reaching those times.

In fact I would think that if cost wasnt an issue for people that "mod" that there would be a metric shit ton of twin turbo ls3s out there. Last I checked I didnt have a set of turbos just laying around.

Thank god not all of us have to pay people to work on our cars.

paying someone for labor is retarded in my eyes.

i do.

i make all of my own stuff. the intake in my avatar was fabricated by me.


all this 5.0 needs is a 62-70mm turbo. but im not going there. i already have one of those.


bench racing is over in just a few days. the 2011's hit the streets starting april 9th -19th.


this leap frogging is just the way of things. a big tire (295's-15's) 2011 hemi challenger with 475 hp would be cool.

a big tire 2011 SS with a little more gearing would be cool.

Yeah well today I counted 1,468,203 mustangs. 489 Challengers and 13 camaros.

All the mustangs were v6s and driven by menopausal women.

Well the average joe doesnt make their own intakes or turbo set-ups. Cost is the major blockage in almost everyones creative thoughts. I mean thats obvious though right?

Also their is some pride that comes along with doing your work on your vehicle yourself that people writing a paycheck for it will never understand.

For what it's worth.

I see probably 10 to 1- Camaros vs 2010 Mustangs, in my corner of the world. Camaro isn't rare at all (They have out sold the 2010 Mustang several months in a row.)
