Just whippin' up a home made batch of Jack Daniels BBQ sauce here, bro, dinner should be on in 2 hours!! Gitcher butt up here!

 

KNOCK...KNOCK!!!

 

LOL!

 

In da dead of night....by da paiwl moon wite, come a chilwing sound ...when da axe come down...opon da wabbits head...anothew wabbit dead....Kilw da wabbit, kilw da wabbit. (the late great Elmer fudd)

 

Isnt putting a wing on a front wheel drive that can only go up to 120 mph in about 10 mins kinda useless?

 

No, no, no!! It's very practical!!! A nice place to lay those bags of groceries at the Supermarket while you are fiddling with the keys to open the doors.

 

Not really, when youre hanging out you can use it as a table to set your snacks on.

Anyway, I understand both sides of the arguement here. I would like to point out if I may, that I have (broken now) a pretty quick Neon, with not a whole lot of money in it. It is a 95 sedan with the 132hp single cam motor and highway trans. Weighed 2420 pounds. Everything was stock on it except the intake, springs, and a catback exhaust. It ran 15.74's all day long, which is frickin slow. Then I added a 75 shot on it and it went 13.3's @ 104-105. Total cost was around $1600. Id have to say thats pretty good time drop for the money.

However, Id still rather have a fast rwd v8. Just too bad I have an '81

 

Ohhh.......Dude......[]! Don't knock your '81..... I have an '80. It came with a wimpy 350, 220 horse but that's changein'. Great body style and you can build these sukas to keep up with the new guys!
How many horses if enough? The sky's the limit.
If you want to unload your '81, I'm sure plenty of people will take it off your hands.

 

Wow, yellow C5, I was looking at your earlier post again: that is one hell of a dyno sheet. And that has to be one hell of a kick, as the engine passes through that 500 RPM band where torque goes from about 135 foot lbs to over 300.

 

Mines got what, 190hp? I absolutely love the body and the way it drives, but its just plain slow. But I will keep it. How much power is enough? Well, Ive got a friend with a f-body making around 460hp, and that doesnt excite me a whole lot when Ive gotten on it. Just felt a bit faster than the Neon.
