From ther responses I am getting they look to be out in MAJOR force for this. Show em that the Tours can get it together just like them guys! Protecting the Grand Am pride with the Dark Angel. (Nothing to do with the tv show either)

I hope the cars that started this (Contour/GrandAm)dont get out done by them. That would make both of us look a little bad seeing as we are guys who got this whole thing started.

On the other hand, if you can afford it then who cares. Abuse it. If you want a drag car by an old muscle car or a Mustang/Corvette or something with RWD. Those gay FWD Honda's with the huge stupid looking front tires are just...gay. IMO. I will not drag my car at all. My car was made for autocrossing/street racing only. Besides what's more fun...going 112 MPH for 1/4 mile or doing 112 around twisties for a few hundred miles...i'll take the twisties. To each his own though people.

WORD! 1 I don't know you and I know you are not new here but your car as you bought it was not desigened for auto X or street racing. 2 only way you are gonna break anything drag racing is if you don't know how to drive it. 3 I drag race my tour and have never broke a thing. only tour I know that have borken anything say it was nothing to do with drag racing, it had to do with doing something they knew they shouldn't of done. 4 go ahead and auto X your car and tell us when you roll it, destroy your suspension, or blow your steering and come back and ask us how to fix it.
