    Cool What inspired or inspires you?

    I can honestly say for me to go faster, it was Matt's 10.X run in Nelsons white 3000GT quite a few years ago. I can't find the video but he raced a big ass old school V8 and just jumped out of the hole. I hadn't seen a 3/S go that fast and ever since then, I've been trying to achieve that goal of a 10 second GTO. I watched that video over and over. Matt's reaction is gold of course once when he comes back with the slip.

    mmm, ten seconds For me it USED to be a pissing contest between some old friends of mine. One had a charged s2k and his brother a turbo rx-7 FD. One brother got his s2k repossessed, the other sold it and they both got ducatis. Now it's just me wanting to go faster :P

    A little different for me. I remember going to the big car shows back east, the "World of Wheels" it was called. Anyway, I was just amazed at the amount of detail that went into those show cars and always wondered what it would be like to have a car that you never had to drive, only worked on making it look better and other people would gather around it just to look at it. I'm not 100% there yet, but I'm getting closer.... and I still like to drive it hard, so it'll never be a trailer queen and it'll never have mirrors under it to show off the undercarrage, but it's still a pretty sweet ride!

    Boobs.
    Ranked No. #1 in initial quality

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.
