    What ever it was, I'd like to own it.

    I don't know what kind of car it was. A new Mitsubishi something or other. He looked over just as I said the word race, and he nodded.

    The GTX with the vj20/VF8 hybrid doesn't spool to 20psi till 4600rpms. Till then, it's 10psi

    He got a little ahead of me early on, but even in the sweet spot, I couldn't catch him.

    In second gear at 20 psi in a 4 WD, I still couldn't gain on him. By the time we hit third, the race was over.

    Pretty bad ass what ever it was.

    Dude... we live in a time of near 300 hp *Camrys*. SUV's that pull 0-60 that would leave anything made in the '80's for dead. EVERYBODY makes something with 500 hp under the bonnet. Getting real, real tough to build a hotrod that can keep up, so don't feel bad.



    (just make it so you can run the boost to 30)

      I don't sweat it. That car way more comfortable, way better looking, just as fast or faster, and cost 10 times as much. Someday maybe.

        What's really scary is, what you can get for not much on the unsed market. Been doing research. Going for a couple test drives today. It's time for something comfy and classy and civilized and *stinkin* fast that still seats 4 or 5....ain't ditching mazdas, just... diversifying the rolling stock.
