cool!! he turned a piece of crap into....a bigger piece of crap :U

 

The hilarious thing about it all is that my '76 Corvette in stock form would NEVER see a 14.3 second 1/4 mile pass.

At least they are looking to try to make their car perform a little better, unlike many people that turn to the loud exhaust, big wing, stickers etc...

I wonder how they are planning on shaving 1000lbs off of their car?

Listen to the kids' responses at the bottom of the thread: "That is, like, so old...maybe, like 15 months...old."

They're, like, making me feel OLD! :crazy:

 

Yeah this was a joke by the Sports Compact Car magazine awhile back. Good one.

As a side note the new Neon turns a 14.2 :eek:

 

As funny as that is, I know it's only a matter of time before one of those pulls up next to me at a stop light, and wants to go.

But the car will still have the radio, or at least a boom box in back. 'Cause you gotta have tunes...
