I know... it's crazy. The most badass muscle cars of the 60's ran high 13's at best.

Eh... so long as the car puts a smile on your face when you push down on the loud pedal is all that matters.

Buying modded cars = saved money.
Id have to agree here, buying a previosly modded car will definatly save you money. I look at my supra and just shake my head sometimes. But, I would rather just bite the bullet, start off with a stocker and build what i want 100%.

I bought it for $1,000 from a close friend. It's auto though but will make an excellent beater when I purchase my new car.
