for an art project recently i took a bunch of car mags and tore up the pictures to get colors. then using the little pieces of colored paper, remade a picture i took of my 8. (took me about 15-16 hours.) anyway.. one of the mags i bought was diesel power or something. they had a spread on a 1000hp turbo diesel.

sure it can beat an 8 in a straight line. it can also beat lamborghini's, ferrari's, and mcclaren's....

exactly , because it was built for that. Our cars are not. Lots of people dont understand that. I bought my car because its different and makes me happy. It has decent power, good braking, Great looks, awesome handling, plus rotary ftw. If i wanted a race car i would have spend less money on an old muscle car and fixed it up.

or just bought an rx7 or supra. still, there is no replacement for displacement and those trucks have an insane amount of displacement.

Yeah, I have been owned by a few trucks at the track and my dads Titan can get me from a dig (without Nitrous of course).

While we are on the subject though I got spanked by a Mach 1 last night while spraying on the highway. I was so dissapointed. He just pulled and pulled. I am such a sore loser. And yes I know this car is not meant for straight lines but man I wished for that Pettit SC last night.

^ Turbo RX-7 got me last night

Those turbo diesels just have so much torque, I had one start catching up to me in our Cadillac one time, and that thing has some *****.
