I'm not gonna sell mine, I don't think the 50 cents I would get for it would be worth it.
Not that anyone mentioned me :p
Every time I come online I wonder if the forums will be up

I go back and forth... I have been "thinking" about it for a while. I have kicked around buying a WRX, a Mini S, a 03 Cobra, a 02-03 Lightning, I am even on the wait list for the new EVO VII when it comes out... I just don't know. I think of all the money and time I got into mine and I figure that I am screwed any way I look at it. At least I still love the car... I just want a bigger kick in the pants. Maybe the Turbo is the way to go... Hmmmmm.

[/b] well, true, but not for the reasons you're tihnking, lol. My cobra has a flat (went flat right after I got home from milan, had a nail in the tire long before I got to the track) so keep that in mind when you compare the times of our cobras from that night . . . I seem to remember them being awfully close . . .[/b]So what did you guys run?

To give you and idea how bad everyone was running we had a 01 Lightning running mid 14's(even more susceptible to the heat), and heavily modified Firehawk running low 13's(he was definitely traction limited). I'm not sure what Brian was running.

I've bought 5 cars in 5 years. I think I'm done with selling/buying for awhile. At least until I'm out of debt and in a house, then I'm selling the beater for a PSD F-250

My best of the night IIRC was a 14.65, which I was happy w/ all things considered.
It's all about balance.
