If you need a car to pick up chicks, you need to work on your game instead of what you drive.


My car doesnt make me cool. I make my car cool.

Heh, TunerElite, this is my daily driver. LuckyH, The engine mods were done by Peter Farrel Supercars in MD, which specializes in rx7's and is300's. Slowboost, I'm listening; and I'm leaning further and further away from the is300, but I don't want to discount it for the wrong reasons, for factors that I don't care about, like that you can't fit a baby seat in it.

A proper meth setup is anything but a bandaid. A meth kit was the very next mod I was going to install on my old DSM before I sold it. I could have gone from running ~21 psi max on pump gas to running 26 psi with more timing. Would have been good for another 40-50hp and 60-70 tq. That sort of setup is what meth is really for, although I agree that I've seen some people use it to bandaid bad tuning. Although if I built a forced induction car from the ground up now I'd do a dual-fuel setup. Much more reliable and much better control over fuel delivery.

To the original poster- I wouldn't buy either of them. Buying somebody's modded car is never a good idea in my book. Sometimes you get lucky and they did everything right and you pay pennies on the dollar for all the time and money they sunk into it. Most of the time they did everything wrong and you spend twice as much time and money fixing it as it would have cost you to just get a stock car and mod it yourself.

My worries were more so towards things like what if the meth runs out while your running more boost/timing?? What if the pump that sprays the meth fails? IMO if you need to run more timing/boost, run the fuel that's needed whatever it may be. It's a lot cheaper to buy the fuel needed than to rebuild a motor because it detonated. Why add more variables when your margin for error is less (i.e. with more timing and more boost)

Right on, dude.

However.......
Get a car that sticks to the road. When you can outbrake the motorcycles into the turn, pass the Corvettes on the outside, and pull away at the turns exit, my kind of chick starts peeling off her
pants.......or starts peeling mine off .... -Bob
