That is definately a bad *** car. Thing is for every serious racer, there is like 10 ricers that ruin it for everyone else.

I would have to say that is one of the sickest Imports that has been built to this day! Its just crazy to see a car well a street car that is a import that can run in the 8.xx's its rediculous! Who couldnt respect that car?

Actually John car went 8.9@161 i believe at Maple Grove before E Town that was on the street tires and through the exhaust. At E Town he dropped the exhaust and came in on slicks 24.5 i believe. Only reason he did that was because there is no class for him besides modified which he has to run vinny ten and the such. That day he made it to the finals to race vinny ten. Car is very impressive even when he got it from Buchsur he took that car pretty deal into the tens on a 20g alone. to Shep.

I just read that article today. Its has he Sti versus the new Cobra on the front cover of the magazine. Yeah that is definitely a sick toy that he has built, The horsepower rating where redicilous also it was like 1053hp with the nitrous. In a street car, well I doubt he drives it every day but, still though.
