The fact it bothers you so much is. If someone moves a pencil on your desk do you freak and have to put it back asap before you are able to do anything else?

Wow all this because I put some new wheels on my car and was shocked by the numbers.

So you talk how much you enjoy imports more than American cars, but then consider ripping out the stock engine so you can shove an American V8 in there?

Your automatic 86 was never designed to be a stoplight racer. You're going to spend 10k on a supercharger or whatever and it will still get left in the dust by a stock Camaro SS.

You will notice I also did not capitalize and misspelt "americian". You missed the irony/satire/sarcasm of my writing it like that.

A Toyota Sienna totally beat me last night on the freeway.

Actually I am in love with real american muscle cars. 60-70's era but can not afford a weekend car since they are not DD's. Also your statement about the camaro ss winning no matter what I decide to do? Have you seen youtube? It might not make financial sense but it can easily be done. Besides I was talking about the v6's.

Did you happen to crash a new M4 at Blackhawk cars and coffee a while back?

They are not but an engine swapped FRS is?
In Florida any car can be a DD.

You found a video of a Twin beating a Camaro SS on YouTube?

You had battle getting somebody to put tires on soom wheels but a Twin that can beat a SS is "easily done"?
