I'd be a good race against this street legal C4.

Approximately 2,400 HP and has run a 6.87 @ 210 in the quarter (4.59 @ 164 in the 8th).

I think the Vette would take him.

Damn, firewall blocked it. And hey, I had an 86 Pacer. One of my first cars. Well, I would steal it from my parents from time to time.

Awesome. I love the little '63 Tempest body. I wish they'd have shown more of it, they were neat little cars. They were available with the 326 V8 that year which made them a pretty nifty little sleeper. Then the next year the Tempest grew and got the 389 and was called an abbreviation for Grand Turismo Omlegatta. And we know what that became.... a legend.

It'd be a good race, that's for sure! The vids worked for me. But all of my media players are set on 'idiot-proof', just for me!

Correction -- I got mine to work with WinAmp -- But Creative/Real/Windows Media/ and Quicktime were no-go. Strange... Mfis vid works on all of them -- the C4 ones are the only problem...
