Trying to decide how well that will all last with where I'm at. I know as a every weekend drag car it wouldn't last but it doesn't get out very often.....that's where I'm having a hard time deciding.
How much HP are you pushing?

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next
Track fix.

I like the Acadia! It's been holding its resale value ALOt With no real issues or recalls iirc.

Texas, I'd get the 9" and don't look back bud, these cars are heavy and need that strong Rearend for good launches and worry free!

Just my .2

I'd get the jeep! Just bought my wife a 2014 and that thing is awesome! Roomy, rides great and with a 8 speed trans it's great on gas.

Arcadia is pretty sweet but I am partial to the 14 Jeeps rolling out. They are sexy!

You forgot to take the rest of the emblems off. I get people asking me all the time if my car is a camaro? Amazing what happens when you take the labels off.

I thought about it ... Wanted to leave a tiny bit of chrome ... I did black out the camaro logos on the side. I can only imagine the questions you get, you should tell em it's the new CUDA
